  Hi kate louisecox,.

  I understand your frustration.  In the search for your question, you got to see this article?  It examines a compromised account:

  Also, if this does not help your situation, I would say that post future questions about this issue in the Windows Live Solution Center Forums as they would be able to help you:

• Scam Microsoft - can he hack my computer?

  My problem: over the last few months, I received many calls from people who exploit a scam on my computer at risk. I got about 6 calls. I gave them access to my computer. These people are very insistent that I do what they tell me or I lose my Microsoft account.

  Today, my computer went through a series of downloads. I am sure that my computer downloads the necessary updates, but today was different. Several programs have been downloaded, including a virus program. This program was called system healer and had a tech support number. This number was 844-993-1496. After the programs (I've seen the new icons on my desktop) downloaded many small screens pop up stating that I have a day to call technical support to the 800-717-3958 or I will lose all my data.

  Is it possible that these hijackers put a virus on my computer when I don't give them remote access? I am very concerned by my data be hacked! Any help or information anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  No, as long as you allow access these crooks from phone to your computer, there is no way they could "hijack" your computer.

  I doubt very much that this new system healer which his suddenly had installed program has been downloaded or offered through Windows Update.

  I suspect that you recently downloaded something else and this healer system was delivered with such a download.

  However, you must uninstall system healer now and, of course, do not call this phone number false spam.

  Please see How to remove system healer (uninstall Guide)

  If you can not do step 1, proceed to the following steps.

  Note: HitmanPro scanning may not be necessary.

  See you soon,.

• Cannot connect to the game using Microsoft account, password is incorrect, or account does not exist.

  I just installed Dirt 3 on my new computer, when you are prompted to log in to my Live account. I put in my info, then the code of the key to the game. She then returned and say my account does not exist or my password is incorrect. After trying twice more I came here.  It is the same account and password that I use here.

  I'll start from the beginning.

  Some time ago a friend bought a game for me (Dark Souls prepare to Die Edition) by Toys R us as a gift. I needed to connect with GFWL to save progress. I did, using my XBOX Live account. I played 40 hrs of this game, my PC is dead. It was during the summer 2014.

  Fast forward to now, I reactivated my Windows Live account and tried to install the game in my new computer. After that I set my account sign in problems (had to change my password three times until he acknowledged) the error message I now get it that the product key is registered to a different Windows Live account.

  There is no other windows Live ID someone else has access to my account STEAM or WINDOWS ACCT. To my knowledge none have been hacked. I was put through three individuals when I called them. Account, a kind of guys then sale of troubleshooting. After that wanted to sale onto me accounts that I hung up. No one knew that STEAM has been and has not yet recognize that GFWL is actually managed by Xbox apparently (have concluded that myself). I know GFWL is now active, BUT I'm always supposed to be able to access my game.

• Problem creating a Microsoft account

  When I try to create a Microsoft account with my main e-mail address a message comes back that the account exists already; I'm asked to sign.  When I try to connect or change the password, a message comes back that the account does not exist.  To inquire about this on the forum I need to connect in order to submit my question, so I create a Microsoft account with an alternate email address, and here I am (!)  Question: I would like to use my main e-mail address - does anyone have advice?  I read a similar question, but the wire went private.  If you can help, thanks in advance!

  Hi Hamilton,

  An account will be considered as inactive if you don't sign not for 270 days or within the first 10 days after registering. The account will be deleted if it has been inactive for 365 days. When the account is deleted, the user name is immediately available for registration.

  Try this status Checker-

  Status Checker

  Try to re-create the account as a new account, if it is still available.

  I suggest you to refer to these articles the Microsoft KB and check if it helps.

• Unable to connect with the Microsoft account

  Hello

  I use the latest version of Skype for linux on Ubuntu 14.0.4 64 bit. The problem is - I can not connect using my account hotmail - everyone else using the computer can. I had change my mobile contacts not on my account hotmail some time ago, if this may be the reason?

  Thanks in advance for your help,

  Hi all

  The solution is very simple and exactly what I suspected. More than a month, I changed my cell phone number and updated my contact information in Microsoft Account. However, it takes them for a month or two to make the changes. Meanwhile user recalls only each time that he or she connects that coordinates are changed (white screen with a warning). On each device using Windows or Android, I was able to use Skype. But it wasn't the case with Ubuntu. Skype, launch, tried desperately to display "white screen" I mentioned, but its ' functionality is limited, so it kept resetting and return to the login screen. I don't know what the problem - Java, Silverlight or what else, but they have to fix it. Microsoft Account is far behind Google, or even Facebook, because of cases like this. Apparently, this isn't a single account for all as in the case of Google or FB.

  IT'S THE SOLUTION, THANKS! ;-)

• Sign in to Skype without using a microsoft account

  I seconded on behalf of Microsoft, but there doesn't seem to be an option to SAVE the setting. So, whenever I'm back in Skype via the Microsoft account. What I did is to get a new laptop. I won't connect to Skype via Microsoft account because my account Skype has my contacts, etc., and also when someone calls me the Skype account with Microsoft is not ringing or connect, it goes to my phone.

  Hi KW15,.

  Have you tried to link your Skype account with your Microsoft account?

  1. Connecting to your Skype on web browser using your existing Skype account which has all your contacts
  2. Go to my account > settings and preferences > account settings
  3. Link to the Skype account that has all your contacts with your Microsoft Account

• New computer wants me to combine Skype with the Microsoft account to connect. How should I not do this?

  I have an account to both personal and professional for Skype. I use the business account more. In the process of setting up the account company on my new computer, I asked for the connection information for the Microsoft account. After that, he wants now all merge so I sign in Skyp with connection to Microsoft. I don't want to do that. My business account is actually "owned" by my employer and I want to be able to make sure that everything is separate. How can I work around by using Microsoft information in Skype?

  Thanks for your help!

  The only case where Microsoft Account is an absolute requirement is when dealing with the modern app from Skype (metro) for Windows 8/8.1.

  Desktop version, that can be installed on computers Windows 8.1 requires Microsoft account.

• Skype account is always available with the old user name and password after you bind Microsoft account

  https://support.Skype.com/en/FAQ/FA12081/how-do-i-sign-in-to-Skype-for-Windows-desktop-with-my-micro...

  After my new account Microsoft a link to my original Skype account, I'm still able to sign into account newly merged with the old Skype account username and password. Of course, I am also able to connect to the account merged with the Microsoft Mail and as well password account.

  My question is this, is this a planned security measure? As far as I know, support faq suggested using the Microsoft account to connect to the newly merged account. The support page is in the link given.

  I thought that once the merger of Skype accounts both Microsoft, the only method to sign the merged account is using the Microsoft account only. Please enlighten me on this matter. Thank you.

  This works as expected. When you link a Microsoft account with Skype account name, you should be able to connect to Skype, either by using Skype or Microsoft account name. Two connection options will lead to the same account.
