Windows Live Mail fonts, hard to read screen

Screen messaging Windows Live, characters became suddenly blurred, too bright when I turned on the computer today.  This used to be a common problem, but in recent months, it has been very well.  How can I fix it?

Hello

One of the things I've learned is to run programs in compatibility following mode: right-click on the icon of the program on the desktop and select Properties. Then select the tab compatibility on the top row. Mark the following settings:

(1) (check the operation in the area of program compatibility mode and the menu drop-down select Windows 7.

(2) check the box in front of the line that reads turn off display timing of high DPI settings.

(3) check the box in front of the line that reads run as administrator.

4) click on "Apply" (from the second row of buttons).

(5) click on apply to all the users box.

(6) repeat these same settings for all users.

7) click on 'Apply' (from the second row of buttons).

8) click on 'OK' and 'OK '.

In addition to my e-mail program, my 3 rd-party and Firefox need file manager this tweak in order to maintain the font size, I put in them.

Unfortunately, it must be done individually for each application behave badly and settings don't always hold, but it is the best and so far only, workaround that I found the problem.

Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

Kind regards

  • How to delete Windows Live Mail fonts

    I have so many fonts in Windows Live Mail that I have need; they all look alike.  How can I safely delete them?

    The last point, they have disabled what was used to be used in OE for stationery and have only basic stuff that are pretty ugly.  There is no version of OE can be installed in Win7 or 8.  I suspect what said you, was that you could buy Outlook, but has neither stationery.  The only way to use OE in Win 7 is via a virtual machine (see www.oehelp.com/OEnWin7.aspx).

    For fonts, you can copy the contents of C:\windows\fonts to save the fonts.  Then you can take a stab and delete those you don't need.  If you accidentally delete one you wanted, then you can go to the copy and then right-click on the police and choose Install to reinstall.  So just save them first and you can play with what you have without worry.

    Remember however, that unless the recipient of your e-mail message has the font installed on their computer, the fonts you choose will not be what they see.

    see you soon,

  • Using Windows Live Mail. Screen reads, "some items can be hidden because a view is applied. How to access the hidden objects?

    Using Windows Live Mail.  My incoming screen is empty.  There is a message stating: "some items can be hidden because a view is applied.  How can I check to see if there are objects hidden and, if so, what they are?

    It depends on what version of the program that you use, but the key word is seen. In all versions, there are display orders; in 2009, WLMail, they are in the menu display . WLMail 2011, they tape everything what they own. In all versions, press Alt + V to display the available commands. Search, display or hide the options (to hide messages you have already read, for example) or a filter (for filtering messages read, for example).

    Windows Live Mail has its own support at the Windows Live Solution Centerforums. Please address any other question you may have on one of the forums on the right side of this page. You are probably asked to give your version of WLMail and Windows so that the answer may be more accurate.

    • In WLMail to find your version of the software, a press on ALT - H. If it doesn't show you the version and the build number, press on escape to two times, and then Alt - F B.
    • To find your version of Windows, type winver in the start search box and press enter.

  • Recently, do 800ccc0f with Windows Live Mail IMAP protocol when just read AOL e-mail so I am not idle, but the server disconnected the connection!

    I have Windows 7 Edition Home Premium, 64 bit on an HP G72 laptop. About 2 or 3 weeks, I get error code 800ccc0f when looking at my AOL emails on the downloaded Windows Live Mail program.  I am not idle, as I read my emails in Inbox, but it says that the server has unexpectedly disconnected the connection. So I close the program and restart WLM but the problem happen in say 15 minutes, sometimes earlier.

    This is the IMAP protocol, with port 143 and secure SSL is 0.

    (1) what is the cause for this?

    (2) I have no virus detected by Windows Security Essentials etc.  So is it a recent Windows Update causing the problem, as kb2454826 affected WLM since January 2011? (I uninstall this update kb2454826).

    I also noticed that the problem with the same error code occurs when I delete some e-mails in my Inbox.

    So it is all awkward and Windows Mail on my last laptop Vista was better on the screen, functionality, reliability, and Outlook 2002 on my laptop XP Pro worked and looked better also. I use WLM version 11, I think.

    (3) can Microsoft Windows Mail works on Windows 7, or at least improve WLM to look and work like Windows Mail with better reliability too?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Sofia S

    I use windows live mail version 11 and have an account to imap aol here are the settings I use.

    Right-click on your aol account and click Properties,
    Tab servers make sure that my server requires authentication is checked.

    The tab advanced,
    Mail Port SMTP outgoing # is 587
    Check this server requires a secure connection (SSL)

    Incoming IMAP mail
    Check this server requires a secure connection (SSL)

    change the server 2 or 3 minute wait times, I use 2 and that works for me.

    After clicking on apply and close the window re - open prorperties and check that mail port # 587 outgoing sometimes he stuck back to default settings.

    Hope this helps

    Try this.

    WLMail open

    Left-click to select your account

    then on the drop down menu - options - mail

    Compose tab

    Fonts seem to be listed there.

    Click font settings, to adapt to your needs,

    and see if this holds for emails send/dial

    If it works and is OK, it's similar on the tab [read] - fonts for reading emails.

    Windows 8 and Windows Live Mail, to change the font size in WLM but not as he was w/Win 7. HOW can I increase the font size?

    Because the poster seems to be using the app Mail W8, the thread has been moved to the appropriate forum 

    Hi EdSikora,

    Sounds like you have problems using the mail app on the computer.

    • Or is it specifically Windows Live Mail?

    If you are referring to the mail app on Windows 8, you can proceed as follows.

    1. When you compose a mail, select the text you want to change the font for, or simply right click on the space empty on the mail.
    2. At the bottom of the screen, you will find the app bar with options.
    3. Select or click the font changes.

    You can check this article for more details on the mail app. Do not respond if this isn't what you're looking for or if you have more questions. Thank you.
