No option to add contacts Windows 8 disaster

Can someone help me please? I bought a new laptop yesterday, it has windows 8. Now, outside of windows 8 is the worst sotware, I have never been unhappy to undergo, when I downloaded the Skype app, it takes without box, drop down menu, without nothing, seemingly ANYWHERE, click 'add a contact' or "add an email address" - the only thing I can do is type in a phone number, I do not want to make. All I want to do is add other people who have Skype so I can make calls from computer to computer.

After much searching many times on google for a solution, it seems that I am the only person on Earth who has this problem. Can someone please? It's the most exasperating situation that I think that I have ever met on a computer.

  • Cannot add Contacts Windows Live Mail rule

    I'm trying to implement the rules of e-mail in Windows Live Mail on Windows 7 computer. I would first of all a folder to retrieve messages from all my Contacts (i.e. real people) and another to retrieve messages from organizations, I am interested in / attached to but whose email I have to see every day.

    Have implemented a rule, I cannot add Contacts, even if it seems that I should be able to. Specifically, I'm trying to set up a rule to sort mail "when the line contains people". In the box "Select individuals", the statement is to "enter one name at a time and click Add, or select the names of your Windows Live Contacts" HOWEVER, we don't know don't not how to select the names of the Contacts. When I click on the Contacts button, I just get a list of Contacts but can't copy and add names to the mailbox rules.

    I'm not typing one by one. I need help.

    Thank you.

    While in the message rule, click the Contacts button and then double-click a Contact , and click Add. That should add to the rule.

  • When you select a contact in your contacts list which does not use an iPhone, are the menu options for this contact that is supposed to display text green or blue?

    Hi there, this is not necessarily a problem, but I was wondering if you could awnswer this. I recently adding some new contacts to my contact list, who are both using android phones is said by the way and noticed that options for these contacts, such as: Send Message, share contact, add to Favorites, block this caller, as well as the options of call and text, are all displayed in blue text. I could have sworn at a certain point my contact options were displayed in green text for users of android and blue text only if this contact was using an iPhone. So I looked through my contacts, I needed to update some of my contacts anyway information and discovered that even the options of contact for non-iPhone users were posted in a blue text. I know that iMessage is always displayed in blue, and that regular messages always appear green, it is always the case when I text someone. I know that's really not a big deal, but still when I really could have sworn that the colors are different depending on whether my contacts using iPhones or not. Don't know if a blue font for the selection of these options would have is part of an update or not, or if it was always supposed to be the appearance of these options. If you could tell me what colors your iPhones display when you select a contact from your contact list, and if this would be something that would be possible to change if these colors are supposed to differ, it would be highly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this, once again, I know this is really not very problematic, but I am always curious about it. Thanks to a bouquet.

    This text is blue, no matter that the person has an iPhone, Android phone, landline phone or not phone. Contacts don't 'knows' what kind of phone is connected to the number.

    You cannot use the Windows registry to disable the elements in Firefox. This link shows how to lock the proxy settings of Firefox, change the values as needed:

  • How to add "Add to Windows Media Player list" to the context Menu of the specific file types

    I use Windows XP Professional 64-bit and I can't understand how to do this, even after hours of reading on google.

    When I right click. MP3 files or. AVI files, they give the option to context menu "Add to Windows Media Player list" but other files that I wish it would show for such as. MKV or. AAC, I can't show him for. I have searched everywhere in the windows registry and cannot for the life of understand me this.

    It works perfectly well and appears on our windows vista computer and the old 32-bit windows xp computer, but it does not appear on my new current.

    How I'd go about adding this choice "Add to Windows Media Player list" when I right click on. MKV and. AAC files?

  • Iconia W510 no option to add Wireless Display

    Hi, it does not seem possible to use Miracast with my W510 Iconia.  I have updated Windows 8 to 8.1 as soon as he was released and apply automatic updates.   I have checked and have all the updated drivers. However, when you open the Panel of charms, choosing devices then the project - it is not an option to add Wireless Display.

    I guess it's something that "should" be.

    It goes the same for our laptop Acer Aspire V5-552.

    Not all models support Widi, which perhaps explains why you do not have the option. According to this link (http://www.umpcportal.com/2012/12/acer-w510-and-clovertrail-overview-video-and-first-impressions-alw... this product is not compatible Widi.

    Since you are using Windows XP, your version of Windows Live Messenger be WLMsgr 2009.

    - so working in online mode (b) - Messenger requires a Live ID access code to use.

    The article I wrote and quoted above explained that WLM (Windows Live Mail), which is also applicable to the WLMsgr 2009 versions contain most of the information to determine what to remember as...

    1. how to use the registry to determine the names of digital files of the database of Contacts

    2A explained that 2009 has two functional databases for each Live ID (a primary and a shadow)

    -both are needed. used 2009 the 'shade' as a catchment area to ensure synchronization occurs in both directions, when changes are made in both locations (local in Messenger or online at contacts.live.com)

    Please read and understand the best article

    http://liveunplugged.WordPress.com/2011/02/04/Windows-Live-Mail-contacts-database/

    ... especially the section dedicated to explain the Contacts 2009 databases.

    Once you determine the digital records of your single Live ID database (shadow and primary) and the program created 'default' you can check the size of each. If you feel that your registry database shows other numeric names (created using other Live ID or perhaps due to an error by typing a user name in the Messenger sign-in box) and these folders can be deleted safely.  Note: you may need to configure Windows Explorer to show hidden and system files to see when viewing in Windows Explorer.

    In addition, you can also, as your contacts are stored online at contacts.live.com, after closing of Messenger remove the any local digital database called folders (for the primary shadow and if is the default). WLMsgr will recreate them on next signon and rebuild any local database folders and files based on what it sync (downloads) of the Live Server to contacts.live.com.

    -Before the deletion of all files, it would be wise to connect to contacts.live.com and check that all your contacts are indeed present and represent for and for saving documents to archives/purposes export contacts to a csv file using the web UI option... Once completed then disconnection from the web UI.

    -Do not, and I it cannot emphasize enough strongly, do not delete anything from the web interface before you delete the local databases on your hard drive (you can always return to contacts.live.com later to manage the contacts (remove, clean the unused or duplicates, merge duplicates etc.) if necessary after WLMsgr recreates local databases.)

    Once done your registry key should show that three databases total (assuming you are using only a Live ID in WLMsgr)-the main and shadow for that Live ID and a default value (if it is created by the program).

    You should have enough information to move forward or to ask additional questions.

    As I mentioned earlier that, at a minimum, an empty list of contacts would be at least some multiple approx. 24 MB. Since you use WLMsgr 2009, and it uses a primary and shadow, the minimum size of about for you with no contact would be approximately 72MB (24 MB for each - primary, shadow and by default). As well as the contacts are added, the primary databases and shadows will be size.

    Other topics presented in this thead element (but not significant) - comments below to close this loop

    S ' for the use of your Hotmail account in Outlook. This use is not related or significant to the database used by WLMsgr. Contacts in Outlook (when the mail is configured to use Pop3 or DeltaSync with Outlook Hotmail Connector) are stored in the Outlook profile contacts, and quite separate from the WLMsgr database (i.e. neither Outlook or WLMsgr program communicates or synchronize or share data with each other to keep the feature)

    FYI... not associated with 2009, but 2011 (for those who read along. WLM 2011 no longer uses the approach of two (primary and shadow) file for databases local contact so databases are smaller and also more robust in 2011 and better synchronize.  Finally, with respect to the use of 2009, wysiwyg... no other upgrades for 2009 are planned (the code was frozen for more than a year, the latest version (never) released in May 2010).

    Good luck.
