    Hello

    Its a SCAM!

    In the United States, you can contact the FBI, Attorney general, the police authorities and consumer
    Watch groups. Arm yourself with knowledge.

    No, Microsoft would not email or call you unsolicited. Or they would know if there were any errors
    on your computer. So those are the frauds or scams to get your money or worse to steal your
    identity.

    I wanted to know if microsoft has sent an email asking for your username and password and what country you're stateing they were at your service day and need information to do

    Microsoft will never request this information in an unsolicited email. They are very likely that ask for any sort of password under any circumstances. Scam. Phishing attempt. Fake. Choose your own description. No Microsoft.

  • Machine Vista "frequently", but not always, ask user name and password to access the public folders on the XP machine.

    Location:

    4 x Vista computers
    1 x XP computer acting as a server file, all the data in the "shared folders".

    All 4 Vista computers were to access shared data on the XP machine for two years without problem. All of a sudden this week one of the Vista computers "Frequently" but not always ask for a username and password to access the machine XP - not only shared folders, but still a list of shared resources on the machine XP via my network places is the result in the box of "connect to" request credentials to appear. All 3 other Vista machines have no problem to access the XP machine, so the problem must be with the a Vista machine.

    To put a spanner in the works as I have said in this case "Frequently" and by that I mean probably 9 of the 10 connection attempts. Let's say, you can see the name of the computer in my network places, you double click it and have asked for credentials, cancel the attempt and to repeat 4 or 5 times and then you could get display shared resources without going into the details of connection. For a few minutes, you might be able to access all the shared data and to navigate through the folders, but then all of a sudden have asked you credentials and can not access to anything, even the files accessed you seconds before.

    Lets say you are able to access the shared folders, you navigate to the Parent folder, then under A folder, then a subfolder B, go back to A notebook, then try to access folder B even once and you get guest credentials, quit out of the network completely locations, navigate back to the XP via Network Places and this machine you not even be able to display all the shared resources on the XP machine.

    I've also set up a shared folder on a Vista machine with matching username and password on the machines and the Vista machine with the get the problem exactly the same problem so this definatley Vista machine with the question and not sharing files on the XP machine.

    Someone at - he met before or have any suggestions?

  • Windows Mail keeps asking for my username and password, and even if they are correct he still doesn't and comes repeatedly asks me for the info

    That makes me MAD! Windows Mail - checking the user name and password &!

    It makes me crazy.

    For the last few days my Windows Mail keeps asking for my username and password and even if they are correct it still doesn't and comes repeatedly asks me for the info again and again. I deleted the account mail twice now and re added it but it still does not work. I can send emails but not receive. I have McAfee but I aiinstalle only this yesterday so that isn't the problem. the error message is:-
    Account: 'mail.talktalk.net', server: 'mail.talktalk.net', Protocol: POP3, server response: '-ERR Authentication failed.', Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, Server error: 0x800CCC90, error number: 0x800CCC92

    Please help I need to retrieve my emails! Thanks, Sarah

    McAfee is a huge problem with Windows Mail.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 if you want to use, wait until you get the job of Winmail.

    Check if you can connect webmail and that works very well and it's not a problem on the end of the server messaging or because of misspelled powers.  Then delete your account in WinMail, compact and repair the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) and make sure that you have disabled the e-mail analysis then add your account to mail back again and see if it works.

  • Windows Mail: Get a pop-up asking for my username and password

    Original title: "windows mail problem"

    From yesterday I can't open Windows Mail.  I get a pop up asking for my username and password.  I was sure that I had good, but since then I have rebuilt the account and still get the same pop up.  This is what happens in the error message:

    Account: 'pop.att.yahoo.com', server: 'pop.att.yahoo.com', Protocol: POP3, server response: '-ERR [AUTH] username/password invalid ', Port: 995, secure (SSL): Yes, Server error: 0x800CCC90, error number: 0x800CCC92

    I downloaded Windows Live Mail and that no longer works.  I tried to configure Outlook and got the same result.  I have another identity on this computer and it works fine.  I read that Norton and MacAfee can have that effect, but I don't have one or the other.  I just downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials this week and email worked fine up until yesterday.   I contacted ATT, but they do not support Windows Mail.  I need more ideas here.

    Check with AT & T, or the Yahoo Server. They have made of your user name and password. Compare them with those that you entered when you first set up the account.

  • Win 7 ask network user ID and password

    I'm having a problem connecting to a shared printer and a shared disk on a computer XP SP2 from the Profession. My Win 7 machines keep asking for network ID and password, that I have ever created. I have read and tried all of the suggestions of this old thread nothing helps:

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-networking/Windows-7-asks-enter-network-password-when/2a8e6d6f-74a1-43C7-8530-24e8522ea955

    Here's what I have:

    -All my machines are on the same workgroup. All the machines Win 7 are not in a homegroup.
    -Laptop 1: Win 7 Home Premium with password necessary sharing network disabled
    Laptop 2: Win 7 Home Premium with password necessary sharing network disabled
    Laptop 3: Win XP Pro SP2 with simple files and printers sharing active and has a printer and a USB connected hard drive
    Laptop 4: Win XP Pro SP2 with simple file and print sharing enabled and allowed in a shared folder

    When 1 or 2 portable Win 7 laptop trying to access 3 laptop (XP pro), the screen that ask you network ID and password always come and I have no password set, but one of these two machines Win 7 has no problem to access the 4 laptop computer that is also running XP Pro. The two XP machines have no problem accessing one or Win 7 machines, and both Win 7 machines have no problem to access each other.  I see four computers on my network card in Windows 7. I know that someone may tend to think the problem is on the side of the XP, but I searched everywhere on my XP machine, including the local policy settings under administrative tools, firewall, date and time setting, etc. The two XP machines is not any antivirus software installed. They are old and have almost nothing except the operating system device drivers and the XP laptop.

    One thing I noticed, is that when I double-click the icon of the laptop 3 shown on my Win 7 network card, the ID and password prompt screen entitled the path. I can only say - it's as if the problem is in my Win 7 machine. If I double click on the computer icon laptop 4, I can feel about a second delay and all the shared folders that pop up.

    I think I looked everywhere evident that I can possibly watch. Suggestions more? The reason why I want to go 3 laptop is Portable 3 is relatively newer and faster than the 4 laptop and I want old laptop 4 Finally. TIA.

    OK, after a few days of curious, I found the problem and indeed it was... so easy. Here's what I missed - on the laptop that I had problem laptop 3, which takes place in Win XP Professional SP2 v2002, there is an option called "Network ID" under the properties of my computer (right click my Comuter), on the computer name tab. Once you click Network ID, go through the Setup Wizard and select "this computer is for home use and is not part of a business network", reboot the machine. Now Win 7 don't ask network and password identification number more.
