A short while ago I had a problem with Family Safety which was being worked on in the following discussion:-
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-security/family-safety-sign-in-hangs/99400114-4132-4bd5-9cdb-459171507b60?page=3
I was told to come back at anytime if I had any further issues (which I now have) but the above discussion is closed for further updates.
IS it possible to get it re-opened? I now have a problem whereby Family Safety has stopped working altogether. My weekly activity report say "No activity" and if I login into Family Safety it says that there is not activity reported there also.
Thank you.
hi,
I have recently installed family safety using windows 7, but have noticed that the only facebook activity showing says 'redirecting', nothing else is being shown although I know it is being used often.
When I navigate to fss.live.com and type in my password I get to a very plain page that says
You need to be signed in with a parent's account to make changes on the Family Safety website.
I need some help in resolving this issue.
Thanks
First post.
Running Win8 on a laptop. It was previously associated to a family safety account I had set up. I removed the device and the user to try and fix an issue with a web page. However, the account will not now add the user or device back in when clicking though form user accounts to manage matters online.
Family safety account is under my email address. laptop user is my child, who is set as a child account with a separate email address. The family safety account is still working and controlling another laptop running win7 under a separate login.
Help!
Hi,
I''ve downloaded Family safety, setup my account, applied test policies to my machine, and everything was working fine, i then logged into the family safety web page, allowed more sites to the filter and rebooted the client machine, however now i can't log into family safety with the client machine, it comes up stating there is a server error and that MS are working on fixing it, please try again in a few minutes... this has been like this for the last two days now, so i've tried another internet connection on the machine with the same error. also when i use a wireless connection instead of LAN FS states there is no internet connection which is incorrect as i can surf the net fine.
i've installed FF on another computer and get the exact same problem with logging in.
is there a problem with the servers on MS's side?

I have installed Microsoft Family Safety on two (One Windows XP Professional, one Windows 7) of 4 computers (two others - one is XP Pro, other is WIndows 7) in my home, and as soon as I did this, I lost the ability for the computers to talk with one another over the wireless connection (can't even ping their IP address). Networking is not working, but when I connect with an ethernet cable, I can at least ping the IP address. I can also see the "media devices" for the other Windows 7 computer. The Windows XP computers have the link for the network place, but when I click is say the location is not accessible, and I might not have permission to use the network resource - contact administrator (me).
Is there something that Family Safety does either on the PC or on the Wireless Router that is causing this? Do I just need to remove it and find another parental blocking solution?
Please Help!!
I need to change my daughter's date of birth on her account, but it's disabled. I tried going through Family Safety, but I don't see the option there either.
How can I achieve this?
The date is causing problems with using the droid Outlook.com application for her phone, so she can't see our shared Outlook.com calendar.
Thanks.
