Send/receive in Windows Mail box is off the screen to the right
Outbox send/receive in Windows Mail (Vista) used to appear at the top left of the screen. Now, she is partially visible and on the top right of the screen. I would like to return it where it was. It comes to the Outbox Send/REC/WAV with the Green shows the 'streaming' line in messages and not the send/REC/WAV in a box in the toolbar.
Right-click on the toolbar and slick on customize and control the order of the displayed icons. Adjust them to send/receive is not the end, but where you want. If the order is good but it still hurt shows, press the Reset button and that should restore icons in their right place (although if you have no customization, you will need to do it again).
After further review, I know that I have responded to the toolbar tells you not what you were referring too. I've been looking for each menu option and toolbar option I could find and you can't find any reference to any other send/receive button available in Windows Mail so that I have all the answers for you since the feature that you are discussing seems to not exist in my copy. My only suggestion is to try to grab it with the mouse (left-click on it and hold down the left button) and see if you can move whenever you prefer it to be. Otherwise, I have no suggestions to offer. Do you know how to activate this box on or off (do appear or disappear) - if so, please explain how it's done. If we can get this dialog to appear in our versions, then maybe we can find a way to solve the problem. Have you ever installed some software enhancements 3rd party Windows Mail which could include this as a feature?
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Cannot find the product key and can not use the gift cards to buy Windows 7 from retail store
Original title: Let Down by Microsoft Retail store
My daughter lives and breathes on his pc. We had some tough times lately, and of course, his computer has had too many problems. In February of this year, I bought a Win 7 Home Premium for his pc. Since we moved, so I can't find the package with the product key, or the disc. I have $75 in gift cards from Microsoft, I need to buy new win 7 hp. Almost all retailers (in store and online) competitive price a new copy for about $119. We have been saving, and with gift cards, I would have just enough money to buy win 7 hp for my daughter. I went to our Microsoft store in the Mall. (Don't forget I saved for about 6 weeks, we are on a budget, then gift cards have been a miracle!) Guess what? The only place that I can use the maps from Microsoft wants $199.99. To add insult to injury - I can't use gift cards for purchases in line-HELP! We waited 2 months just to be left out... I am very disappointed by Microsoft.
I thought that we recorded our product with Microsoft when it was originally installed, but cannot find anyone. All solutions?If you have purchased windows is installed a keyfinder allows you to recover your product key.
I think that the price of $119 is to upgrade xp/vista to windows 7.the $199 price is for the full version. -

Calls from fake Windows remedy.
Original title: WINDOWS CURE SCAM.
I received several calls from fake Windows Cure then when I let them think I'm addicted I give them a very high-pitched extended with a panic alarm and which should give them a headache or earache.
Hello Sam Kig,.
It's certainly plausible. Forums of people who fell there are enough requests FRO help on this and other, pray for these scammers. Everything we offer in fact is that they re-install windows, change passwords and notify their bank that they have been scammed!
This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

I bought windows 7 in a store, but my windows xp cannot read the dvd. can I download 7 and use the product key, rather than buy it again? I bought an old compaq desktop computer, and I want to update.
It's probably too late because you have unsealed the package, but as you have relatively minor glitch of the material do not have a DVD player, did you use the (free) Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to determine whether your computer hardware is capable of running Windows 7?

8.1 window isn't downloading store as message is coming that you must enter the administrator account. I already use admin account. How to solve it?
Original title: Update window 8
You may not use the store from the built-in Administrator account (the one that is actually named 'administrator'), because this account is supposed to be a backup for emergencies only.
If you create your own account with a different name (it may still be level administrator), you can use the store.
