• A little sleepy Internet - cannot connect to Skype by using my Microsoft account

  Hello

  Since this morning, when trying to connect to Skype by using my Microsoft account, I got a message that the Internet is a little sleepy and I have to try again later. It's using the desktop on Windows 8.1 version. However, I can use my Skype ID and I am able to use the account of MS on Skype on Android. I could also open a session using the Win 8 application using my account, Ms.

  I tried the option to completely uninstall Skype (including enforcement Win 8) as suggested elsewhere on the forums of discussion, but the problem persists.

  It's incredibly frustrating!

  Please give me an alternative or tips on how to get rid of this problem.

  Thank you

  I discovered the problem. For one reason or another in my LAN in Internet Explorer settings, I had ' configuration script automatically use "checked with a value for the script. Have no idea how it got there, but he stopped at IE to connect to the internet, but also this problem with Skype. I almost never use IE, I tend to use Firefox or Chrome.

  A little worrying that it unknowingly.

  My son connected to my computer and access his account of Microsoft in doing this, he became my Microsoft account manager.  I can't access my account now, how can I remove it from my computer and come back to me as my Microsoft account manager?

  You will need your son to get a one-time password, then go to settings / accounts, then choose "connect without a Microsoft account" to break the link from his Ms Account.

  Hi Birol,

  Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help you with this problem.

  As described in the question, you want to know why you need a Microsoft Account to use Skype and other applications. You want to close your Microsoft Account.

  I wish to inform you that you need a Microsoft Account to make purchases from the store Windows. Your Microsoft account is the combination of an email address and a password that you can also use to connect to services such as Hotmail, Messenger, SkyDrive, Windows Phone, Xbox LIVE and Outlook.com.

  You can connect to Skype using Skype or Microsoft Account account. It is not mandatory to have a Microsoft Account to access Skype. Download the desktop version of Skype App and use the Skye account to access.

  You can connect to Windows 8 by using the Local account Microsoft account. If you connect to Windows 8 using local accounts you cannot access some of the features of Windows 8.

  Apart from this, there are a lot of Apps through which you can be in contact with other people. You need Microsoft Account to access the apps like Messenger, calendar, people App or Windows store.

  I would ask write you to with the description of the problem you're having with Windows 8, so that we can help you to solve. If you want to close your Microsoft Account you can see the link here.

• Download xbox live using an internet virizon wireless key?

  Can someone help me I am so desperat. I need xbox live, but all I have for an internet source is my laptop with a virzon wireless internet stick. That plugs into a usb port. My pc is an inspiron 1501. I also have a router. Help, please!

  You may be able to enable sharing of Internet connection on your laptop and plug a cable between the XBox and the laptop and connect it like that.

  You can use this guide (says Vista, but also works on 7): http://www.windowsreference.com/windows-vista/step-by-step-internet-connection-sharing-ics-setup-in-vista/ 
  That should get you up and running on the ICS connected to the XBox without the router.
  If this does not work, let me know. There are other solutions (but a bit more involved and less than a success rate).

• Trying to get on Xbox Live using the internet connection in the hotel.

  I'm staying in a hotel until April, and I cannot lift the Xbox Live and running. I am able to connect and download content, but no matter what I do, I can not send messages or play games. I tried just using the Xbox built in wireless, using the command "getmac" and inserting another address MAC for my Xbox, and I tried to connect via a bridge on my laptop connection (that is able to take full advantage of the internet), or they did the trick. The hotel staff shows that he didn't there no blocks on the Xbox live as well. Can someone help me or point me in the right direction?

  I'm sorry to know that you can not connect to the computer. Let me try and help you with this problem.

  (1) you have an active network connected to the PC?

  (2) did you do with the last changes made to your computer before this problem started?

  (3) are you able to connect to Microsoft online account? https://account.live.com/

  (4) using an Internet connection wired or wireless?

  This happens usually if there is a network connection problem or it could be a temporary problem.
  
  First, if you are a using a wireless connection, please connect your PC to a wired connection and check if you are able to connect.
  If this does not help, you can reset the password and check that helps. You can connect to the Microsoft website https://login.live.com/ account and reset the password, and then check.

• "Update info" link does not work in Windows 8 by using the Microsoft account

  I have Windows 8 Pro. I had signed with my Microsoft account.

  Recently, I ran into problems of synchronization and so had to sign out and sign in my account from Microsoft on my PC in Windows 8.
  I have 2 steps check activate my Microsoft account and authenticate using the authenticator application for Windows Phone 8.
  I signed on the Microsoft account on my PC after switching to a local account and on the Microsoft account. I used normal password (not the app since it does not accept it). Successfully signed in, she says that the parameters can not be synchronized until I've "update info" in my Microsoft account. I know it asks me the passcode generated by the application, but the link is dead. Here is the screenshot of the link.
  
  How can I make it work?
  Reset my PC isn't an option. I can't afford to lose everything I have in there. In addition, a system at this stage image backup is useless for obvious reasons.

  Hi Ram,

  As the link update security information is dead, you can connect to the Microsoft account directly and update security information.

• Why should I use my Microsoft Account for everything I do?

  I just got a new laptop with Windows 8, it seems that everything I have done requires the activation of my account. I want to use Skype, I have to link it with my Microsoft account. I want to check my email, I link to my Microsoft account. I want to download a free app, I sign in with my Microsoft account.

  There is clearly no reason most of what a desire to datamine Microsoft and monopolize my computer activity. If you want to datamine it is one thing, but it is not a valid reason to inhibit the functionality of my laptop or the OS unless I connect using an entirely artificial account that is only used for data mining and I never used to need my Microsoft.
  Why should I have to validate my computer actions with my Microsoft account? What justification Microsoft gives to warn me using programs and applications preinstalled and free unless I have connect to my Microsoft account?

  Hello

  As well as the wonderful information provided by Khaled-Arya, please take a look at the following link:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows/user-accounts-FAQ#1TC=Windows-8

  You can choose one of the following two ways to connect:

  • With a Microsoft (an e-mail address and password) account. Signature with an e-mail address and password allows you to use your favorite applications and your unique settings and preferences on any PC.

  • With a local account. Signature with a local account (with or without password) allows you to use the files, settings, and applications on your local computer only.

• I can connect on Windows 8 without using a Microsoft account?
