Title: Hotmail to Outlook
Post by: Melody on April 10, 2013, 11:36:24 PM
This change of our main email that we've had for 10+? yrs has us all in a tizzy.  Nathan uploaded a ton of photos onto SkyDrive, which we cannot access.  The webpage just has an apology.. lol  None of our contacts are on the Outlook email that was forcibly changed.  I have googled and googled and all I can find is that this happens a lot apparently and I can try and install MORE stuff with MORE settings and what not.  If it weren't for the photos, I'd delete it right now.   :mad:

And since there is no sign of all our contacts, I can't email them and say our address has changed. 

And no Isaac, I don't want Lenox or another thing to have to upload, download, install blah blah blah.   :nono:

While I'm at it.  This week, GP started having certain words be links to advertisements on my PC.  Is that just me?

That sounds like you have a virus.  Run a virus scan quick...

Linux?  This is not a problem with an operating system, so I would not recommend an alternative operating system like Linux. 

Unfortunately I have no experience with SkyDrive or the email system you use, so I can't offer any useful suggestions... other than things everyone knows, like back up your files.

I have.  That was my first assumption.

Next, what web browser do you use?

google chrome is what we use 99% of the time.

I tried opening it up through IE though too and the same thing happened.

In that case, I would call a priest.  And dont plug the waffle iron in or the toaster.

Actually, see if anything has been installed, ie a search bar, or some "anti virus" software.  Also, do a spyware test.

Download this: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?tag=main;pop (or search for Malwarebytes Anti Malware) and run it.
