New office w / Windows 8 - where is Windows Live Writer?

Just installed my new desktop PC Inspiron s 660 and like what's new in Windows 8 - with the exception of Windows Live Writer to lose. Went out on MS site for download. Installation program tells me that I have a newer version on my PC. An audit under this Essentials and Windows 8 site tells me that Windows Essentials is installed. A post on the advice of Ms. asking "How to start Live Writer?" remains unanswered.

Live Writer is a handy utility to create WYSIWYG blog messages.  I would like to continue using it - if someone could point me in the right direction.  Thank you!!

You do not have Windows RT - techno clearly does not know what he is talking about.  RT of Windows is only distributed by OEM on Tablet (or similar) devices... the 660 s doesn't have a RT option.  Right-click [my] computer, properties... it probably will tell you that you have Windows 8 (the only other option is Windows 8 Pro).

Go here for Windows Live Essentials, including the writer:

Do NOT try the stand-alone version of the writer, he does not list Windows 8 as an operating system supported.  The basic fact of life (including the writer).

    I loaded windows live mesenger. but when I tried to open my account, I got a dialog box asking me to update to the new version of windows live messenger.

    The Messenger IM application was withdrawn and merged with Skype. Users will be asked to download and install Skype...  If you don't use Messenger, you don't have to download Skype (or install it).  If you have been asked to update your account Skype has been updated to it.

    Your contacts and preferences must be migrated when this happens and you can use your Skype ID or your Live ID account to sign in.
    Some features of Messenger will continue not in Skype.

  • Standalone installer of Windows Live Writer?

    Hello

    I want to install Windows Live Writer on my Vista Home Premium machine.

    I currently have Messenger (8.5.1302.1018) installed, which I am very happy with.  I have absolutely no interest to install the latest version of Messenger because I don't think much at all.

    As Live Writer is part of the essential elements (I think his name) Installer, he refuses to allow me to install the writer without update of Messenger.

    Can someone tell me how I am able to access an independent Installer for Writer?  Or if there is a method I can use to bypass or avoid this 'all-in-one' Installer do not touch my Messenger installation.

    I searched high and low for this and am unable to find a solution.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Thank you

  • Update Live 2009 and the new version of Windows Live 2011.

    After installing the update of Live software (10.11.2010) Version 2009 (Build 14.0.8117.416) in my computer - and I tried to start Live Gallery, I get the message Photogallery cannot start because lack of MSSQL 2005 COmpact edition.

    As I knew, SQL served also in the previous version. I'm a little afraid to try to install this version, because I already have MSSQL server 2005 installed and used in my accounting program. Install a new version will then often more problems than solve all the problems.

    How to add Live Gallery as a new instance of MSSQL2005? You have the settings to set a manual instance who will work with the photo gallery?

    Next problem:

    Microsoft alert on the old LiveSync program, who work for a long time. I used this for a few years, because I have 3 computers that must be synconized with the same information on the accounting data and documents and photos. This Livesync works very well.

    I should connect on my page of Live Sync yesterday and change the settings. I've been using Live sync for a long time. There I could see Live Sync will stop and set up a new product, mesh. Well, I agreed to install this solution. I used already, windows Live mail and Live messenger, for a time of loooong and very uncomfortable about this products.

    When I installed the new synchronization software, it is also updated my Messenger, the gallery and the mail. But I'm really disappointed... The Messenger is like a huge stone and with a new design and more complicated to see what you're doing. The Gallery is so bad, and the options to display images after the shooting date disappeared. Mail is so heavy and all programs with a HUGE menu of icons all places, with 1000' nds of choice which a normal user does NOT need or want.
     
    The system of mesh must be a better solution after sync Live, but it's so slow and do a lot of bad things in my computer. All my sync folders has been updated with Live Sync, but what a start doing the same thing again, and I had 12000 files update. Soon it started the update, he grabbed 20 GB of my available space in my drive C - from 32 GB to 12 GB, and I was really scared of running out of disk space. After a few our space was getting better, but it stills lost about 10 GB in my hard drive, compared to what I had before installing. The mesh has put a lot of temporary files in users\Appdata\Local\Microsoft'Live Mesh. I start checking all files, files which could be, and after update all the files, it was still about 9 GB left in this folder. My Local low folder is now 292 MB, Local is 4.2 GB and homelessness is 579 MB. But I still wonder where is the last 10 GB which disappear when I install the mesh.
     
    My other computer died in this operation. When I start today, I had a lot of messages on the server mesh was not, and I tried to restart it. But now it's DEAD - I could not power on it. A hard disk will also start default after installation of the mesh, it was a whole new Samsung 1 TB 3.5 inch SATA.
     
    Now my main computer died and I removed all the latest Live Messenger with Essentials on this one, and now it starts acting like a normal computer.
     
    My Gallery is normal again, that my email works normally again. and I decided to stop all kinds of synchronizations from Microsoft. Why if you change a good product that works fine?
     
    I recommend post you pack to download the previous version of Live Messenger and products - and continue to use Live Sync, and people to give a chance to yourself decide how version that should be updated when a new version is available. I had no choice to stop the update for Messenger, Gallery and mail. just a message about this also will be updated. http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-Essentials?OS=other must be put on hold until the test is preferable. Live Mesh is dangerous - it kills your computer. This is NOT a final product - put in a BETA version and put on a warning.

  • Is it possible to retrieve e-mails from an Outlook Express to the new computer running Windows Live Mail somehow.

    Original title: transfer emails to new computer

    Pls is it possible to somehow retrieve the emails from an Outlook Express account on a broken computer to transfer to my new computer which runs Windows Live Mail or do I need to get the old computer fixed? Thank you very much

    You are welcome. If you can get the files from hard drive accessible, here's what you need to know.
     
     
     
    Transfer of data from Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail:
     

    For Messages:
     
     
    Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx must be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.
     
     

    V-2011/2012: Menu button. Import Messages. Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.
     

    Location of OE message store:
     

    In OE: Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     

    In Windows XP the OE User (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    I had MSN Messenger until I get WLE 2011. Had a problem with my installation of Windows Live Essentials 2011. I had a full unistall and then re - installed. Finally got right. I am running XP, with upgrade to Office 2010. After installing Windows Live Essentials 2011, it shows I have messenger, but now I can't find a way to get it on my desktop or the taskbar.

I have messenger when I log on Windows Live, but it's the only place where I have. I would like to come back to my office. How can I do?

  • I opened a new account in Windows Live Mail to my e-mail address of heaven. All oustanding flooded in emails. Since then, I can only send email.

    I removed the account and opened another in case of filling of the Inbox, but the same thing happens again.

    When you set up a new account POP3, the first time that you query for messages it will download all the contents of the Inbox of your mailbox. What did you expect to happen? Now, what happens when you query for new messages by pressing Sync?

    Windows Live Mail has its own support at the Windows Live Solution Centerforums. Please address any other question you may have on one of the forums on the right side of this page. You are probably asked to give your version of WLMail and Windows so that the answer may be more accurate.
    • In WLMail to find your version of the software, a press on ALT - H.
