=============================

Hello,

 

I've installed Windows Essentials on my laptop (HP Pavillon with a touch screen and Windows 8). I can find Windows Live Mail, and Windows Live Writer, but I can't find movie maker or photo gallery, and I believe there was one other thing that came in the recommended settings. I've shut down my laptop, then turned it on, uninstalled Windows Essentials, and then shut down and then after turning it on, reinstalled it. I can't seem to download Movie Maker otherwise because I'm being told that it is already installed. I can't find it in any of my folders, or on start. I've also searched up similar questions, but nothing seems to work. And after installing Windows Essentials, I get a message saying that it is installed and to click close to start using it, but then only windows live comes up, and nothing happens otherwise.

 

Can anyone offer any help, please? Thank you.

I want to link my blogger account through Windows live writer to publish my posts, but the problem is even though I give correct User Name and Pass Word, it's not opening. The error message is wrong user name and password.

Information given by me is correct because I used to access the particular account through the web.

 

Please help me guys.

 

I tried to install the Windows Essentials 2012 package,but only Skydrive got installed and Windows Live Writer was installed but didn't work.Other softwares which didn't install were Family Safety,Messenger,etc.How to install the whole package?And I've tried more than 5 times for installing it.
I really have a blog at webs.com and weebly.com, however,  when I would like to setup up my blog via Windows Live Writer, I have been facing a problem.

These are the steps I have followed:

First, I have tried writing the web address of my blog and then user name along with its password as it is shown in this screenshot.



However, I found this message 'Windows Live Writer was unable to automatically detect your blog settings, please select the type of your blog that you are using to continue' as in the second screenshot.




Then, I got to this above screenshot, in which I  am facing a problem selecting 'the type of blog  and remote posting web address for my blog'. As you see in this screenshot above, there is neither webs.com nor weebly.com in the first list to choose.

Moreover, I hadn't a problem setting up my blog created at wordpress.com and bloger.com

I think that blog services 'web.com' and 'weebly.com' don't work with WLW.

I was curious about 'why Live Writer replaces "--" with a dash' (and if there were any way I could get it to replace 'a couple OTHER keystrokes' with symbols like 'the cent,' etc.)

 

Well, I opened Tools > Options > Editing, and saw there the options to 'replace hyphens with dash,' 'replace straight quotes with smart quotes' and ... 'replace other special characters' ...

 

WHAT 'other special characters' WHERE?

I can create a wonderful looking post in Windows Live writer with lots of clear, crisp photos, but once I publish to my Blogger blog, the photos are blurry and embarrassing looking :( I've tried to upload at a large size (2488 width) and resize to my post (800w), I've tried directly uploading to the exact width I want (800), nothing. It all looks like ****. Any thoughts???
