How can I access Hotmail on a Vista computer?

Help!

My mail e-mail account - one that I give everyone - is a Hotmail account.

I have been using XP computers for 10 years, first with Outlook Express and now with Windows Live Mail.

Because XP support is closing, I got a Vista computer to replace my XP ones.

I tried to install Windows Live Mail on Vista and has been invited to download hundreds of updates to make sure you have the latest version of Vista.

Then, I was redirected by the Microsoft site to download Windows Essentials.

One of the components of the download Windows Essentials was Windows Mail.

I tried to create a Hotmail account in Windows Mail, but received a message that Windows Mail isn't compatible HTTP.

He said that I should install Windows Live Mail.

I tried to load Windows Live Mail and received a message that Windows Essentials is not available for Vista.

Help! I'm in a serious and unexpected mess!

How the hell can I access my Hotmail account is really important on the Vista machine please?

Webmail is not good enough, because I'm not always on the internet, and because I have tens of thousands of messages stored on Windows Live Mail I have to be able to search and read.

Thanks for your help,

David

SORTED!

THANK YOU very much for your help.

Now, you can all have a good laugh with me!

The solution was incredibly simple: turn off sign in 2 steps.

I don't know how Windows Live Mail is dealing with it, but Windows Mail and Thunderbird cannot.

    Disaster of Windows Mail.  Where are my emails please?

    How can I access my emails after the death of my PC. I had a pc using Windows Vista and I served my Windows Mail e-mail program.  The computer has stopped working so I removed the hard drive, put it in a case and now use it as an external drive.  My new computer, I took possession of the Documents and Settings folder, and I'm looking for emails.  I followed the path, Documents and Settings / / AppData / Local / Microsoft / Windows Mail but there are 2 folders, backup & stationery as well as a few small files.  Where I could hide my email? Please, I beg you.

    There should be a directory called local folders under the message store and eml files organized into folders named after the directories under this directory are.  They may be hidden files, so make sure that you have enabled the display of hidden files and folders under control panel | Folder options | View.  You can also try to search *.eml, because messages are stored as eml files.  See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm for background.

  • How can I change explore the way Vista...

    1. How can I change the way to Vista Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer) highlights a selected item or folder?  At the moment it is transparent and not discernible from the background.
    2. is it possible to have Vista's Explorer expand a folder with a single click as XP, closing the folder previously expanded (in the folders pane) If Yes, how can I do this?
    3. How can I remove the links from above the folder column in Explorer?  It is a waste of space for me.
    **. Why Microsoft put links in a folder to the folders in this folder?  All I get is 'click to access the folder' and then a message that I don't have access rights to the folder.  It is a stand alone and I'm the only operator on this subject.  WTF?

    Make sure that the software firewall, AV, or other security components allow free local traffic on all network computers. If you use the 3rd group of security, firewall native Vista/XP must be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
    Please Note that some 3rd party software firewall/AV/security costumes continue to block aspects of the Local traffic even it they are off (off).
    If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.

    If you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

    Point to a folder that wants to share do right click and choose Properties.

    In the properties

    Click on the Security tab shown in the bellows of the photo on the right) and verify that users and their permissions (see photo below Centre and left) are configured correctly. Then do the same for the authorization tab.

    When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).

    * Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.

    ** Note . All the users who are allowed to share need to have an account onall computers that they are allowed to connect to.

    Everyone is an account, that means a group of all users who already have an account now as users. It is available to avoid the need to configure permission for each on its own, it does not mean all those who feel that they would like to connect.

  • How can I access my music files through Windows Media Player?

    OK, here's the facts:
    I have Windows Vista.
    Most of my music in my music is missing.
    I can view and listen to the music of "missing" in Windows Media Player (library).
    In Windows Media player, if I click on a song and 'open file location' need me for my music, and the file is not there.
    Looking for songs via the start menu or through my computer does not work.
    MP3 audio files are also missing.

    Not having access to the original files, I can't add music files individually to my mp3 (Windows Media Player lets you synchronize files only, and I don't want to lose a part of the 'missing' files I have on my mp3 using the Sync feature).

    How can I access my music? Clearly, it is still on my computer somewhere since I can play through Windows Media Player.

    Hello

    Step 1: Check what all records are controlled by the player. Then check these records, if the music file is present.

  • 'Bad Request' blackBerry smartphones can not access Hotmail via browser

    Hello

    I can't access hotmail via my Blackberry Curve browser... after the login screen. I get a blank screen with the mention 'bad Request' in the upper left corner.

    can anyone suggest how can I fix?

    Thank you

    It is not you.

    There has been changes. I don't really understand, but I have the same trouble of mobile platforms (passport and PlayBook).

    Best I can suggest is play and find a method that works. For example, go to Bing.com and select Outlook. Connect to Microsoft and access email from here or try. Search the Hotmail from a search engine and look for a link of connection and try that.

    If you find something that works, remember. I know I did, but I forget and understand each time.
