I have IE8, Windows Vista and Windows Mail, which shows as my default mail and only email address.
I would like to have my Hotmail address as my default mail, but Windows Mail will not allow me to add Hotmail. Wizard error says it does not support HTTP and I cannot see anywhere under Hotmail options/more options where it allows me to change any type of connections to POP3.
I read it can be done in G-Mail, but unfortunately I have Hotmail.
Is downloading "Windows Live" and uninstalling my "Windows Mail" a solution?
I have all my mail forwarded to Hotmail, so I wouldn't lose saved messages.
when you write a new message in Windows Mail - by default it starts with Arial fonts. Can you change this default to your own particular liking and save it, so when you start a new message,it starts with your choice automatically?
When I open the hotmail.com page, I see in the live id field someoneelse's account adress. Instead I am supposed to see my own account adress, as a cookie should keep that. Now I dont know what is going on... I use vista ultimate with AVG. I leave my laptop open during the midnight for emule. I use wireless internet conenction and it is unsecured. My vista ultimate has the sp1 and latest updates, with firewall on... In these conditions can someone reach and use the hotmail from my computer? What is going on? If I cannot get a sensible answer, I will start to doubt if someone breaks in my home during the day and use my laptop, when I am at work.
When I write a new email, I get automatically my default address ("manic") in my "from" box but when I reply to a message sent to my default address ("manic") the "from" box shows my secondary address ("talktalk").
I have 3 e mail address's and one of them is my default address, which is subscribed to a mailing list for my football team. I get quite a few e mails on this list and often send to it. For some strange reason tonight, when I try to reply to an e mail that has been sent to the list, it tries to reply from one of my other e mail address's rather than my default one. Yet when I do a new e mail its ok, and creates one from my default e mail address!
I have several email accounts configured on my windows mail on my Vista home premium and one of them is configured as the default email. When I reply to emails received on email accounts other than the default email the "from" email address does not change to the email address of the received account.
I understand that the email address in the "from' field when I start a "new" message or create mail is that of the configured default email. My question is while replying to an email received in other configured accounts should not the "from" field email id change from the default email id to the email address of the email to which is replied.
Hotmail recently announced that they are changing the protocol that will make it incompatible with Outlook Express. There is a new mail client called 'Windows Live Mail' that addresses this. I installed it on my XP Pro machine and it works pretty nicely. Will Windows Mail - standard with Vista support the new Hotmail format? Are any special setups required?
I just did a restore to factory settings. Before I was using MS Mail (Live) I believe. I had MSN & Vz both configured, along w/my Newsgroups. Now it seems like here in MS mail I can't set up my MSN.com Hotmail account. I get some sort of msg. saying the format is no longer supported. Can someone tell me what settings I need to put in? I tried MS Live and that seems to only take MS Hotmail. Outlook 2k7 is also balking at me. I'd like to get all mail in 1 place. Can someone tell me where to find the info. needed or point me in the rightdirection of setting up any 1 of these apps.
But all of a sudden, I cant. I talked to my ISP and they say that nothing change on their side and I still have a dynamic IP. I believe that maybe one of the updates is responsible for this, I update to SP1 and almost every update exist for vista. So, my question is, do you know maybe on an update that can cause this?
I need to change the default ICS IP address 192.168.0.1 when sharing my Internet connection with other machines as I have an IP conflict with the cellular modem that I cannot change. Is it possible to assign a new network range for the dhcp server for the local network. If so, probably in the registry. Does anyone know of this?
I'm using Windows Vista Home, downloaded the new Windows Live Mail, cos i need to access my hotmail (Windows Mail does not support). However, i am only able to read the "header & sender" of each message. The content cannot be shown. Error message:WINDOWS LIVE MAIL encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this message.

E-mail messages has been sent out from my Hotmail account without me having to do with it. This is approx the 3rd or 4th time that it happened and I am getting concerned about the security of my account. I am so embarrassed to all my contacts because they are receiving e-mails which are actually not from me. They are usually messages with a link to a website selling electronic goods and what-have-you's!! It???s a hotmail.com account but which I usually access via the web or by something that looks like Outlook Express. I am worried that my hotmail account has been hacked! What should I do to stop this from happening again?
Autoplay for my avi files is quicktime, which can't run avi. Is there any way to change the default player, and not have to right click 'open with...' every time? I tried changing the autoplay default for video files in the control panel, but to no avail.
I have downloaded a icon package for vista with very smooth icons. I know how to change a program or folder icon or a indivudally file icon in the items properties but how do I assign a new icon to be used as a default for example word documents, mp3 and such o all my mp3 files and such are showing the new icon? If it have something so say I'm using vista 64 bit ultimative sp1
I suspect there maybe a simple answer to this, but for the life of me I can't find how to do this. My default font was changed about 2 weeks ago (long story as to how and why) to something that looks like GEORGIA or LUCIDA or something similar, and was forgotten to be changed back. So every webpage I open, every menu option, is all in this new font which I dislike.
My laptop has two hard drives. C has Vista on it and along with updates it's almost full. D drive is much larger. I'd like any new programs to automatically install to D. Is there a way to do that?
I have vista with ie7 and Maxthon installed. Once Maxthon was installed and set as the default browser all of the shortcuts to web pages that i have (i.e. favorites folder) and a few on my desktop all use the maxthon icon. I am able to manually change them back to the "e" icon by right clicking and changing icon. What i want to do is set it so that every NEW shortcut i create, as well as the old ones automatically use the "e" icon instead of the Maxthon one.
I cannot send mails via my hotmail e-mail address for approximately two months; when I try to send one I get a notification saying that I have to activate my hotmail account. When I click on the link to activate it and enter the confirmation code as required I get a page with a error code on it. How can I solve this issue if needed I can provide additional details.

Need to change my IP Address. Details; i'm with Virgin media broadband i'm using a cable modem. and i've read how to change it; Via the Network > Manage network connections > Porperties. Doesnt work it tells you. "Obatain and IP address automatically." But mine is already set to that. and with the "Use this IP address." option i don't know what to put in, for the simple fact i wouldnt want to put in an invalid IP.
I have a Brother HL-5280DW. My mac will print to it over the wired network. My XP machine will print to it over the wired network. Vista, however, will only print to it until somehow the IP address is changed. This is confusing, since to the best of my knowledge, the IP address has always changed and it never mattered on the mac or under XP. I have no idea how to fix this, but I do know that my frustration with Vista is reaching the point that I need to either get this stuff working or junk the OS.

I recently bought a back up drive, but its default action - when I double click it -isn't 'open'. How can I change this? also, how do I change what comes up in the right-click menu for it?
How would you go about changing the default install directory. I just freshly installed vista x64 and was wondering how to change the default install directory from Program Files (x86) to just Program Files.
In the sound pop up from the control panel I was trying to change the default speaker, but accidentally disabled it. Now the speaker has disappered from the playback devices tab and I cannot get any sound out of my speakers. How do I enable my speakers again? Its a laptop, so I think it's the internal speakers I've disabled
