Skydrive won’t sync or show any files/folders after upgrading surface rt to 8.1

I recently upgraded my surface RT tablet to 8.1, and now many things don't work, in particular the skydrive account cannot sync with my actual account.  Despite the fact that I have changed nothing.

The symptoms

1 - Skydrive shows no files, only two empty directories Documents and Pictures.
2 - If one goes to options, the message "sorry we couldn't connect to skydrive please try again latre orgo to skydrive.com to change settings" appears.
3 - If I go online, everything is fine, all files show up, and there are no settings.
4 - The online account does not show the surface tablet.
5- The account on the surface is still the same one that is shown as the primary in my skydrive account.

Other incidental things:
After the install I had to re-enter my disk encryption key, which seemed ridiculous but may be unrelated.

Need to recover Windows Live Mail messages from crashed hard drive HELP

28. June 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,

In Vista.  Hard drive crashed but data can be accessed.  I need to grab whatever files/folders pertaining to Windows Live Mail from the old drive, and transfer them to another computer (that has Windows Live Mail installed on it). 

Where do I find the necessary files/folders on the old hard drive?

What files/folders do I need to capture?

Once I paste them in the new computer, how do I load the old messages into Windows Live Mail?  It can't be done with the import/export function in the program itself. 

Thanks.
