• Error in registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts\Database

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts\Database

  This error keeps occurring on my Scan of the registry - how can I get rid of him?

  What you need to get rid of is whatever program you use to make registry scans.  In general, they do not work and some are really dangerous (I've seen cases where they did so much damage all the Vista system was to be installed as a clean boot).  Do not pay attention to the mistakes that these programs show - they may or may not be true and 'fix' can cause more harm than just leave them alone.  Most are not really errors.  You risk serious damage to your system if you continue to use any scanner registry, registry booster, Fixer registry, registry repair tool or anything similar.  Vista doesn't have these programs - it does a job perfectly well to clean the registry on its own.

  Please take my advice and uninstall and never use this device or any other product like it if you care about the integrity and preservation of your system and your registry database.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Is it safe to remove all but one or two recent copies of the folder Windows Live Contacts located in AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Live Contacts?

  Is safe to remove apparently to the copies of the files of Windows Live Contacts is located in the directory of following:
  C:\Users\Krista\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Active Contacts

  During a recent cleaning disc, I tried to 'explorer' of these files that take more than 150MB. I was unable to access the files and was motivated indicating that the folders were empty (even if the box 'properties dialog box' shows that they are each around 30 MB.)

  Real statistics for AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Live Contacts folders:

  (1) C:\Users\Krista\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts\ {ec5c004d-431a-4953-b52a-fb2242447800} 15 January 2010 29.0 MB

  (2) C:\Users\Krista\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts\ {c5f4de74-2462-41ae-93fd-7ff8b51a8597} 16 January 2010 29.3 MB

  (3) C:\Users\Krista\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows live Contacts\ {82a7b7d2-3f5d - 43 c 2-aba5-f39d76b4a} 29 January 2010 29.0 MB

  (4) C:\Users\Krista\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Contacts\ {90a2a35e-9bce-4efb-aee5-50dd69b35741} live February 1, 2010 29.0 MB

  (5) C:\Users\Krista\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts\ {e26a3eaa-c3ef-4471-a9e4-26e5cba73bd9} 3 February 2010 28.0 MB

  (6) C:\Users\Krista\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows live 28.0MB* February 17, 2010 Contacts\ {83a16ece-a5b5-4a53-96d3-51c079f32522}
  * It's the only one who does not say "folder is empty. Ironically, he said 4.03 MB when twitch, but properties box reflects 28.0 MB

  (7) C:\Users\Krista\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts\ {c8d513fd-aab6-4c7e-a612-7ade0eed7c4b} February 19, 2010 28.3MB* *.
  * I guess that it is the most 'common' or 'active' Live Contacts folder

  I use Outlook 2003 for my contacts and e-mail and have a hard time justifying 150 MB of data in the old WLContacts files to stay on my HDD. At this point I did not anything else that create 5 files zip files (which takes 10 MB of space instead of the 150 MB uncompressed.

  In summary, I would like to get an opinion heard on whether or not the removal of the Windows Live Contacts AppData apparently duplicate files will create any type of system instability.  Thank you in advance for solutions or suggestions available.

  Hello

  You need to leave them alone if you want Windows Live to work. Think of them as
  Virtual folders used for the processing of your mail.

  I hope this helps. Rob - bicycle - Mark Twain said it is good.

• Restore Windows Live Contacts of Norton Ghost backup

  A few days ago I had to reinstall Windows 7 to get rid of a particularly nasty hemen. I downloaded window Live 11 and installed. I managed with some difficulty to restore all messages (WL had new IDS to use for message stores and it took me a while to realize that I had to copy the massages in the old ID in the nine). However I can't for the life of back me contacts. I managed to find old contacts in the backup files in C:\User name\appadat\local\microsoft\windowslive\contacts\default\15.4\DBstore\contacts.edb but when I get back (what a copy since the back-up in the same place in the live system) it seems to do but no contacts appear in Windows Live. I also tried to connect to Windows Live online and export the Contacts from there. The export worked (I now have a CSV file on my PC) but Windows Live does not appear to be an import of Contacts - just a message import. Can someone suggest another shot.

  David Quinn

  I signed up at people.live.com and you have the correct account with a list of contacts up to date.

  OK, so all you have to do is to sign in to Windows Live Mail using the same account. Use the button to the right on the home Ribbon tab to connect you with the right account.

  Then, I went to my contacts from Windows Live desktop and you click Import and chose the "address book for the current windows user.

  Who will import your Windows Contacts, which you can see by typing contacts in the start search box and press enter. This function is a legacy of Vista and is not used by any Windows program in W7. It can be used by third parties, for example to synchronize contacts between your computer and a mobile device. There is no link between the Windows Contacts and Windows Live Contacts.

  I also looked at the CSV file I had saved. It was a bit scrambled.

  If your Hotmail contact list has been accumulated over the years by different means, it could well be corruption in some entries that will upset a CSV export. Unless you really need to fill the default contact list in Windows Live Mail (for when you're not connected), don't try to import. If you feel that you don't have to fill this list, I would be interested in your reasons.

• Duplicate E-mail from Windows Live contacts

  I created a few new contacts. When I wrote an email and sent to 3 contacts, one of the names of the contact appeared twice, so when I went to send the e-mail he wouldn't let me because the address of one was not in the right format. So, I deleted the contact and he added once again, and it's the same thing. What is the cause and how do I fix?

  Thank you!

• Issue of mail from Windows Live contacts

  I just bought a new computer with vista and windows mail. My old computer used XP and outlook express 6. In express, I had my contacts every day in the directory of Contacts main identity as well as several subdirectories like school, Viet Nam Vets, etc.. I do not send contacts to the group, but what I do is go through the appropriate directory, that I like to use, then select the names that I want to send. I find that windows mail does not appear to allow me to do. When I used to start an email in outlook express and go to 'From', all that would come up is my main identity Contacts (from which I could choose who I want to send the e-mail to), and I also want to send to people in another of subdirectories, I was going to click on the arrow down, and these directories would all belong to me access. Now in windows mail I tried to make the contacts in the group for my previous under directories, but when I go to 'To' on mail every contact I have seems to be a very long process to select the people I want to send to. How to achieve the same thing using windows mail?

  Geoff I Hall, take a look at the following links, I think they're what you're wanting to accomplish:

• Windows live contacts - shows some not name

  I'm trying to start using Windows Live Mail.  I've used Windows Mail.

  Starting with no contact in my Windows Live Mail, I imported all my contacts from Windows using the import option-"address book for the current Windows user.  It seems to work very well.  However, a certain contacts came to the wire with just the e-mail address - no first name - and no family name.  I can't say why.  I deleted all of them and tried again, but with the same result.  What can I do so that they come up with the name appropriate who are associated with them?

• How can I remove duplicate contacts in Windows Live Mail?

  condense windows live contacts

  Because my browser can't stand Windows Mail, I moved to Windows Live Mail. My Contacts file will of 357 entries entered in 1167. It seems that the individual entries somehow obtained a copy of 3-4 times. Y at - it a simple way for me to condense my file of contacts down to original handwriting. Also when I go to send emails, the AutoComplete feature does not work. Even when I am in Internet Explorer 9 and surf the web, the auto complete feature for addresses of Web sites that should be in my contacts folder will not work.

• 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.

  How can I change the languauge of Spanish to English in windows live messenger?

  To change the language, you can download again with a new language on this page:

  Use the menu option drop down change the language under «Quick Details» I don't know if you will need to uninstall your previous version or not.

  * Note

  It is always advisable to uninstall all software, before installing another version/flavor.

  -If your WLM uninstall everything first, your contacts, history, origins, emoticons, winks, settings, etc., will not be deleted

  -You should always backup/save them manually to another folder, for the import of later(copy/paste/overwrite), once installed, the new WLM [just in case where something is not]
