Cannot delete or edit contacts Windows 8 persons App

I have no possibility to delete or edit my contacts in hotmail windows 8 (maybe it is called direct mail). All my contacts are home grown, which means I have not imported social media in my people or my e-mail account application. All contacts were from my old hotmail account I used with a XP machine. If I slide down in the people application nothing happens. If I right click on a contact nothing happens. In short, when it comes to the edition of contacts, I'm dead in the water. I fear, if I reload Windows 8, the same thing happens again, and I don't see any information on the web that is specifically about my problem. All this reminds me the trial of Alice in Alice in the Wonderland. The Red Queen and her Court are so damn they make life * on all the world, because nothing is apparent, it's all hocus pocus, and nobody really knows what the * happens. Thanks for any help. The Cheshire Cat

I needed this as well. Had a troll autour and found this... it's surprisingly easy when try you it! Good luck.

  • Cannot delete a file in windows 7. Indicates the specified file name is not valid or too long.

    Hello everyone, I'm pretty stuck here. I can't delete a file in windows 7 or any other do with it besides. Says "the specified file name is not valid or too long. It has a funny name [~ t] and no extension. The file type, say "file". The properties are all screwed looking with a mistake on the Security tab, a size of 0 k, is a Windows (c) \Windows\en-US.The other files in this folder appear normal. The computer seems to work very well without any obvious problems. The only problem is my anti-virus reports with a kind of syntax for the file error and indicates it cannot parse this file. I do not. I can't do a thing with it either. Cannot open, rename, move, delete, change passwords, properties, permissions, nothing. It may be necessary for a good part with 0kb. According to me, I want to just delete the thing. Please, anyone? Thanks in advance.

    Hey bud, I figured out how fix it earlier. I am so happy. I came to remember a command called chkdsk which worked very well for various issues, that I had since the construction of my old 2000 Professional machine. I think that one was my first NTFS system. I always liked how well he error correction. Seemed a lot better than the old scandisk. Low and behold, I tried and star ANISE, it is went through it, found this file almost from the beginning of the analysis and a few lines later, he said has been removed. Says something about the file being orphaned some time ago. It was a very bad child, that I tell you. I ran it in safe mode command prompt. I guess he would have done the same thing in the normal windows well, but I happened to be in safemode, when it came to me. I used the switch /f with her. Since the C:\ command prompt or any drive letter your operating system is selected, type CHKDSK/F if I remember although the f was to have it automatically CORRECT errors. I hope this info helps others with their file or disk problems. It seems that many people say they get mistakes and cannot delete various files here in these forums. Thanks Sandeep for answering me and try to help. It does not matter whether or not it was the fix, it takes time to post and your helping people learn to be it. The only thing that remains unanswered for me is actually the thing of the answer. I mean I can't say someone at - it really answered my question and do not count me? Maybe I should mark so that people will bother to read it and get the fix. HMMMM... I come back here some time later and see whats up.  SeeYou, EWOO

  • All my files are similar to the same folder Contacts photo and cannot add or Edit Contacts.

    Original title: the folder view

    All my folders look like photo folder... same Contacts, Ouch!  I can't add or Edit Contacts.  Folder views change randomly.  I have set up in the Options, sometimes to keep the changes, often not.  I never know how a folder will display when I open it.

    Suggestions;

    1 make sure that your machine is clean. Run a full scan.

    2. If it's clean, do a regeneration of the icon cache.

    If it helps, in my contacts list, its BB icon shows that looks like he's in a voice call.

    Help, please.

    Make sure its not connected to anything (cable, charger), make sure that its turned ON, then lift the battery out.

    Hi rlsajs,

    Is it a custom computer or pre-built as a HP, Dell, etc. ?
    Is your USB keyboard? If so, you may need to enable "bios powered" usb in the BIOS of your computer.
    By default, many computers are set to "Operating System" controlled USB which means that your keyboard does not work entirely until Windows has started, and you need it to work before Windows started as you go through the Setup for a new installation.
    Hope this helps and answer back with questions. If you need help getting into the BIOS of your system you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer.
    BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can resolved e. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • Cannot delete a Word in Windows Explorer file, said his opening in MS Word

    I have a regular file to MS Word (Word 2003) that I can't delete or move when I'm in Windows Explorer.  Whenever I try to move or delete the file, I get an error message saying: the file cannot be moved or deleted because it is open in MS Word.  However, MS Word is NOT open, nor is the file open in MS Word.

    How can I delete this file?

    P.S. The author of the file is known to me and other files from this author (or ANY other Word, Excel, pdf, files etc.) can all be deleted or moved - no problem

    Hi Holger-TLS,

    If you close the program, but the file is not yet clear, restart your computer. You can view all programs currently running on your computer in the Task Manager.

    Try this:
    1. press Ctrl + Alt + Del
    2. Select the Task Manager
    3. check if word.exe runs in the process
    4. If it is running, end it.

  • Cannot delete a folder in Windows 7, file access denied error

    When I try to delete a file in my main account from Windows 7, he asked permission of the administrator. I agree with permission but then he said: I need the permission of the account holder. I am the owner of the account. It keeps giving me the dialog folder access denied with choice of 'Try Again' or 'Cancel '. How to regain possession of this folder.

    FYI, I've upgraded this Vista computer. It's my main account in Vista.

    I tried to change the permissions in the Properties window, but it doesn't seem to work. I can be wrong step by step instructions you know. Also, if I can make it to the full account at the same time, it would be wonderful.

    Some research more and I have the solution. After following the recipe for change owner:

    1. Right-click on the folder-> properties
    2. Security tab
    3. Click on the Advanced button
    4. Owner tab
    5. Edit... button
    6. Select administrators in "a change in ownership at", check "Replace owner of subcontainers and objects '... This may take some time
    7. Open cmd.exe as an administrator

  • Cannot delete orphans actions in Windows 7

    I have cloned my hard drive and replaced by a larger. In the process, I temporarily deleted all the other drives. One of them had some "shared folders".

    Now I have the largest disk and have deleted a "recovery" partition, I have several actions that have been in a different drive letter and are now: "not accessible" and cannot be opened: "could not start Explorer hosted to..." »

    Command prompt "net share/delete xxxxx" said that they do not exist.

    Computer Management shows them, but the only option is the 'open '.

    Mountvol.exe does not recognize that the orphaned drive letter part therefore cannot remove any mount point.

    While they are there... but can not be referenced or removed.

    Any help with this would be most appreciated.

    Mountvol will only show local readers, not the network shares.

    If you are sure that you watch them actions (which I doubt) then you can remove them here: HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\shares. Better to create a restore point before the registry of hacking and to check that your repair CD Windows 7 is good nick.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones cannot add or edit contacts on BB 8520

    Hi, I am a beginner on this forum so apologies if this topic has been discussed before.

    I gave my "old" Blackberry 8520 to my husband that I had updated.

    He put the sim card from his phone Samsung with the BB.

    Now, he cannot 'Add contact' or modify one of his contacts.

    I had wiped the phone and he returned to factory settings before I gave it to him.

    It doesn't have all of the messengers on it except BBM.

    I'd appreciate your feedback / advice on that.

    Thank you very much in anticipation.

    Hello!

    Try the following:

    Just delete all applications (Yahoo, MSN or Live) email you may have recently updated / delete applications that were recently installed before the error started actually took place.

    After that, disconnect the battery while the phone is always "on" and reboot the phone.

    In fact I had deleted a whole bunch of applications to facilitate my upgrade of the OS that I had not enough memory on my device.

    This not only helped solve my problem mentioned above, but also makes my phone restarts in less than 3 minutes (restarting earlier was done in no less than 15 minutes!).

    My conclusion from the above incidents is to keep your apps in the bare minimum so that your phone performs the best.

    I hope that solves your problem!

  • R7000 drive NAS cannot delete the folders permissions question user-person not

    I have the R7000 with a Seagate STBV4000100 4 to USB 3.0 drive connected. I can connect to it very well, driving shares of work etc. Since a WIN 7 64 bit OS file system using windows Explorer I can create folders, etc.

    It comes occasionally when I try to delete some files or folders, I get the following message;

    "You must be authorized to perform this action."
    You need authorization of Unix User\nobody to make changes to this file"

    It would seem that I am not able to change the permissions of either windows Explorer.

    If anyone knows how I can change the permissions so I can delete from windows Explorer?

    One thing of note. When I copied the files/folders on the NAS of the windows system drive, some files have been marked read-only. Not sure if this is part of the question, but anyway. How do I set the permissions to something so I can remove them from windows?

    NOTE: If I disconnect the drive of the router and connect directly to the computer... it works fine. As the router and the PC are not on the same floor, is not practical and defeated the purpose. Suggestions welcome!

    After a few reformats the drive, it worked for me. The eSata disk files are exactly like Windows Explorer 'standard '. I can save, load, delete, change properties, etc... Because it worked, I had to turn off the router once, and after a reboot, nothing had changed. While working. (except the bad 5G wifi and "freaky" interface, but it was like before)...
