Recent survey of Windows Live (?) to reset the username, Passwork, Date of birth, country or territory
I received 2 requests for Windows Live team asking me to change some of my personal information. One is from "MSN Hotmail! «Customer service (* address email is removed from the privacy *) "and the second came from" Windows Live team (* address email is removed from the privacy *).» Investigations said it was in conjunction with users of Microsoft LIVE/Hotmail/MSN accounts and that I had to give or change the following information within 3 days or I could be removed from the service: username, password, Date of birth, country or territory. I don't think that this is legitimate - some words have been misspelled, pronouns have been misused, bad grammar...
Please let know us if this is legit - I don't want to lose service, but I don't feel good about it.
Thank you
Judy Wilson
E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.
Do NOT respond to these emails - in fact, remove them. They are certainly not legitimate. You can go directly to your account and confirm and/or modify your personal information (although I don't think that it is necessary) but do NOT use the links they provided and do not click on them out of curiosity.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

I have problems to connect to Windows Live Mail on the Hotmail account.
Connection window Live Mail Hotmail problems
I have problems to connect to Windows Live Mail on the Hotmail account. I was wondering if anyone knows if this requires a paid subscription to Hotmail. Microsoft does not explain this.To configure the POP3/SMTP to Hotmail/MSN/Live.com access accounts in Windows Mail, use these settings:Make sure that all of your settings agree thereby. If you get an error message, do a right click on your error message, copy, then paste it into an answer here. We cannot do a lot of troubleshooting without the full error message.To give you a little history, Windows Mail does not support the HTTP messaging, which for a long time was the only authorized method of access for free Hotmail accounts. In addition, given that the development of Windows Mail was frozen in July 2006, there no knowledge that Microsoft has enabled POP access for free Hotmail/Live/MSN accounts in February 2009. Therefore, the Windows Mail Account Setup Wizard is hardcoded to reject the Hotmail and MSN addresses. To work around this limitation, when you enter your Hotmail/MSN email address, initially, use a fake domain, such as * address email is removed from the privacy *. After the account setup is complete, you can go back into the settings and correct your email address.Gary van, Microsoft MVP (Mail)
------------------------------------------------------"Joe Hartoe" has written in the new message: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy... *This is the mail of the window, it has been upgraded to manage Hotmail. The error code indicates "connect to the mobile information server end." I came across this problem with Outlook Express similar years when Microsoft decided that Outlook cannot access Hotmail accounts on subscription. Email client has no connection to Google problem.

I just purchased Fable III PC Retail today and I installed and you get the following message:
Games for Windows - LIVE should check the release date of your game. Please make sure that your computer is connected to the internet.
No personal information will be sent to Microsoft. A LIVE ID is not necessary.
As you can see I have an internet connection because I am writing this post. There is no button to push or anything to continue the activation process.
The game was released in 2011 and 2012 is beyond the release date.
What is the problem here?
Using Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1
I7 2670qm processor
16 GB of Ram
NVIDIA Geforce GTX 560M / 3GB
I found the answer myself. There is a bug in the commercial version of this game. In the pop up menu it is supposed to be a button that says "enter", but it does not appear then press just enter on the keyboard and all is well.
