  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.

• Whenever trying to install a new windows program gives me a prompt asking the administrator username and password?

  Whenever trying to install a new windows program gives me a prompt asking the administrator username and password, I don't know how to install a program when I don't have the admin username and password. I tried, tried to run the program as administrator, tried playing with the command prompt. Even to manage user accounts that I am invited with the same, if I am not even given these fundamental rights so what's the use of this product. Please help me in this regard.

  Hello Dominic,.

  Thank you for reaching out to us on Microsoft Community.

  The prompt that you receive requesting the administrator username and password during the installation of any program is due to the User Account Control (UAC). UAC can help prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. UAC notifies you when changes will be made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions. These types of changes can affect the security of your computer or can affect settings for other people who use the computer. We recommend that you leave UAC to help your computer course.

  However, if you still want to delete the computer from Windows 8 user account control settings, you can view the suggestions about Disabling UAC in Windows 8.

• Microsoft sent an email asking for your username and password and what country you are, of stateing, that they were up-to-date at your service

  Original title: microsoft servvice

  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.

  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.

  Avoid scams that use the Microsoft name fraudulently - Microsoft is not unsolicited

• PC can see and access the laptop without asking for a user name and password but the laptop cannot access the PC because it asks me a username and password that I don't know.

  Vista - Windows 7 network connection. username and password is unknown.

  Hello

  I just got a laptop with windows 7 on it and I want to connect to my other PC for it, they are on the same network through a router. the PC can see and access the laptop without asking for a user name and password but the laptop cannot access the PC because it asks me a username and password that I don't know.

  If someone could answer this question, it would be great.

  Hello
  Maybe this can help.

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_name.jpg

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  ------------------------------

  If your network consists only of Win 7 and you want a simple network, use it.

  Click on the Security tab shown in the bellows of the photo on the right) and verify that users and their permissions (see photo below Centre and left) are configured correctly. Then do the same for the authorization tab.

  Hi higi97,

  How are you connected to the internet? You're behind a corporate firewall particularly safe? You're on Mac or Windows? You have an anti-malware software running on your computer which can prevent applications other than your browser to connect to internet?

  You can try the steps below:

  1. close the application of creative cloud.

  2. navigate to the OOBE folder.

  Windows: [system drive]: \Users\ [user name] \AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE

  Mac OS: /Users/ [user name] / folder/Library/Application Support / Adobe / OOBE

  3. delete the opm.db file.

  4. launch creative cloud.

  Let us know if this helps,

  Kind regards

  Hi fox55

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers Forums!

  Try this step and check if it helps to solve your problem:

  Password sharing is turned on.

  Password sharing is enabled by default for computers of working groups. When password sharing is enabled, people using other computers on your network cannot access your shared folders or printers unless they have a user account on your computer. There are two ways to enable file or printer sharing:

  Turn off password protected sharing. To turn off password protected sharing, follow these steps:

  2. open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click network and Internet, click network and sharing Center.

  3. under sharing and discovery, click the arrow next to password protected sharing.

  4. click on turn off password protected sharing, and then click on apply. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. Note: Password sharing is not available on computers that are on a domain.

  Also check this:

  Follow the steps to set password of the credentials under vacuum:

  Create a shortcut to (map) a network drive

  When you create a shortcut to a shared folder or computer on a network (also called mapping a network drive), you can get to it from the computer or the Windows Explorer without having to search or type its network address to each time.

  1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.

  2. click on map network drive.

  3. in the drive list, click a drive letter.

  4. you can choose any available letter.

  5. in the folder box, type the path of the folder or the computer, or click Browse to search for the folder or computer.

  6. to connect each time that you log on your computer, check Reconnect at logon .

  7. click on Finish.

  Your computer is now connected, or mapped, to the network drive.

  See this link for more information:

  Are there deposits in the router that blocks access? If there is, then try to turn it off and check if you can connect to an external hard drive. Go to this link:

• opening windows mail ask me a username and password

  Could not connect in windows mail

  This is Windows mail.  Windows Live Mail can be a little different, but the solution may be similar, unless your problem is unable to connect to Windows Live in the first place?

  Your settings are correct for your type of e-mail account?  Most ISPs do not require a box checked for a secure connection.  They do need to have a legitimate user name (email address) and a password.

  In Windows Mail, check tools / accounts / mail / xxxxxx to your email provider / properties / servers, there are two checkboxes at the bottom (for the logon and authentication) which if are checked, you can try to remove the tick.

  Your ISP should be able to help you in this case, because they know what settings you need.
