Windows 7 wallpaper 'LIVE', gadgets and screensavers...

OK, if a cell phone can have 'LIVE' Wallpaper (snowflakes floating around, fire in a fireplace and so on) why no Windows 7? Why my background is a photo only? Maybe I am a "retarded" and just have not found the option to make my Office run a background LIVE?

Gadgets, when I select gadgets I find that one page, I know that there is more out there but can't seem to find a large selection of site Web Microsofts (download gadgets etc...)

Screensavers, I know there are some out there that I can buy etc... Where on the website Web Microsofts find more if I don't want to download from a 3rd party webisite?

Hello

Active Desktop allowing things as animated wallpaper and Web sites to display on the desktop has been deprecated starting with Vista, even if Vista does not have the Dreamscene component for the Ultimate edition. These were removed due to security/performance issues.

The Gadgets Gallery online has recently been deprecated for the same reasons. When you click the GET link online more gadgets in the component of Gadgets, read the statement to the bottom of this page for more information. Many companies produce their own gadgets, as they do applications for smartphones.

There are tons of screensavers online as well as third party products that can reproduce these features.

Almost everything in Windows 7 focuses on the themes and desktop slideshow.

    ID WIndows Live ID is just a login name that you use for Windows Live servers.  It takes the form of an e-mail address.  All Hotmail addresses are identifiers WIndows Live ID.  All live.com addresses are identifiers WIndows Live ID.  You can also use any address as a Windows Live ID, I think that, as long as it's an email address valid and you can receive mail at the address.

  • 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.

  • Windows Live ID and password to enter in conflict with MS Money Plus Deluxe Sunset as well as with MS Money 2007 files.

    For several weeks now, I couldn't access my Money 2007 file.  When I type my Windows Licve ID and password, it says that they are inaccurate, which is not true because I use them all the time to access the internet and my e-mail address.  I went to Microsoft and downloaded Microsoft Money Plus Sunset Deluxe thinking he was support issue with a program abandoned, namely MS Money 2007.  (I'm using Windows XP as my operating system, by the way.)   Well, it wasn't the problem.  Yes, I can get into the new program, but I can't import my existing file of 2007 money in it.  There is always this conflict Live ID and password.  Why is this happening?  I noticed that others had the same problem.  I tried to change my Live ID, nothing helps.  It seems that the ID and password correct combination is incorporated into the backup file and the program does not accept it.  Y at - there a way to UN-embed in the file so it can be accessed and imported?  I have a lot of info and there is no way that I can remember every detail to be reintroduced in the memory.  I need this program!  Help.!

  • I can't download Windows Live, Skype and AVG antivirus. Problem with firewall or IE 8?

    My Eee PC 1000HE is insalled with Windows XP and Service Pack 3. I tried to download the Windows Live, Skype and AVG antivirus without success because they said that they could not detect my internet connections. I tried it on my workplace and my house so I think this isn't the router issue, it is the configuration on my computer. Also, I discovered that even I have disabled the windows firewall on my computer, the Security Center has always indicated that at least part of the firewall is still on. How to identify and disable firewall? Could this be a problem with IE8? I have to manually configure anything? I thank you and appreciate your help.

    If after your turn off the Windows Firewall, it shows that you have firewall, it means you want running an other firewall? You run any internet security software?

    You can try to reset internet explore (Tools-> internet option-> advance tab, then reset) and see if the problem is resolved. Alternatively, you can try to contact your ISP and ask them for help, they could provide you with the configuration information.

    6. If you want to restore a file to the registry, in the Registry Editor window, click file and click Import

    7. navigate to the location and find the name of the file with the .reg extension and click Open.

    Hi K - Ann,

    Thank you for the above information.

    I followed you instruction to back up the registry keys, but when I followed step number 7. Navigate to the location and look for the name of the file with the .reg extension and click Open, the message of answers that I received from the registry editor has been as follows: -.

    Impossible to import C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\My Backup\Backup260910.reg of register: not all data was successfully written to the registry.  Some keys are open by the system or my other processes.

    So I closed my computer and restarted. I then followed your instructions again (this time save the backup of the registry to a member in the same library, called "Backup260910bkup"

    Yet once, when I followed the number of the step 7. Navigate to the location and look for the name of the file with the .reg extension and click Open, the message of answers that I received from the registry editor has been as follows: -.

    Impossible to import C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\My Backup\Backup260910bkup.reg of register: not all data was successfully written to the registry.  Some keys are open by the system or my other processes.

    Can you tell me what I need to do to work around this problem of backup of the registry?

    I look forward to receiving your response.

    Thank you

    Neil Clark.

  • Problems sending mail in Windows Live Mail (and Windows Mail)

    De :  MarkJ

    Hello

    I had a go at some of the solutions I've seen for this problem but have had no luck yet, I wonder if Miss me something?

    So, I can receive emails without problem (in Windows Live Mail and Windows Mail), but don't have had no success sending (although I can always send mails when I access my account online).

    The fixes I've tried so far are:

    -through my account settings and to ensure that they are as indicated by my email provider (I have an ntlworld account). IE POP3 and SMTP settings must be correct.

    -then I tried to check the box "my server requires authentication" (did not work)
    - then I tried completely disabling my firewall/anti-anti-virus/e-mail protection (ZoneAlarm) who also worked
    - then I tried to install an update of sorts for Windows Mail (not Live Mail) (found on a Board communities, sorry can't remember which, but it was an official update from microsoft)... and it does not work
    -Finally, I tried to install Windows Live Mail... and Yes you guessed it, that does not work either (I also checked the settings etc.)

    ....... I wonder why things have to be so difficult?

    Can someone please tell me where I'm wrong!

    This is the error message I get:

    The connection to the server has failed.

    Subject 'Test '.
    Server: 'smtp.ntlworld.com '.
    Windows Live Mail error ID: 0x800CCC0E
    Protocol: SMTP
    Port: 25
    Secure (SSL): No.
    Socket error: 10060
    --
    Thank you very much
    Mark

     

    De : Gary van

    To solve the problem of sending (at home) once for all, you need to replace the Server SMTP from Orange to smtp.ntlworld.com. I don't know, what if Orange will allow you to keep your return address of NTL, when sending to Windows Mail. It's worth a try.
