Windows Live Mail FAQ
In Windows Explorer My Pictures Folders when opened used to display small photos. Now they display only common icons.
Under 'View' & 'More Options' I don't see any option to get small photos.
I had to have Windows 7 re-installed recently, & I think that the problem started after that.
Maybe I'm missing something in the basic setup or settings.
I don't use Photo Gallery.
Hey Guru's,
We recently migrated a client to Skydive; Their workstations are all Windows 7 Pro. We installed the desktop app to sync all their documents and files across several computers;
When they open a document via Windows Explorer, and choose to SAVE AS in Word (this happens in excel too I believe), no matter what I do, Word contacts a web server and the saving process takes anything up to 2 minutes to complete, during which time Word is "not responding"
How can I configure things such that Word always simply saves the document to the local Skydive folder on C:\ and lets the desktop app worry about syncing it.
For the laptop in question, content from the cloud does get downloaded without any issues - at least just as yet! However the upload process either doesn't work at all (in most cases) or does so for some files after an exasperatingly long time.
It is important to note that there is absolutely no indication of any upload / download process - either on icons of the concerned files in windows explorer of in the top right corner of the Skydrive app.
Predictably I am gradually moving my files to Box / Dropbox as I cannot accept such unreliability of the sync process.
I have windows 8.1 laptop (Sony E series) with 8 gb RAM and around 250 gb of free space. The laptop connected to a 2 mbps broadband connection. There are no connectivity/ broadband issues.
I am sorry if I am repeating a problem that has already been resolved, but I feel great urgency in getting a solution and did not have the time to sift through this forum.
Would really appreciate help
I was very excited about the integrated SkyDrive folder in Windows 8.1 until I found out it won't upload any files for me. It sees my online files with no problem, and can accurately show what is currently on my SkyDrive. However, I have not been able to upload a single file using the desktop integration in Windows Explorer. It was suggested to right-click the SkyDrive icon and select "Make available offline" which downloaded all my cloud files to my local computer, but did not allow me to upload files even when it finished syncing. I am trying to upload files by dragging them from a folder on my hard drive to any folder in SkyDrive. The file just sits there and does nothing. The availability says "Available offline". I right-clicked one of the files I was trying to upload and clicked "Make available online only", thinking that would force the upload, and I got this error message:
Of course, I did try waiting several hours and trying again, but a 1MB file shouldn't take that long anyways.
No matter which file I try, to which SkyDrive folder, nothing will show up when I log into SkyDrive through the browser.
Specs:
Windows 8.1 x64
Intel i7 3930k
Biostar TPower x79
32 GB RAM
128 GB SSD
As a side note, I am running Windows 8.1 RT on my Surface RT, and this all works fine using the same Microsoft account. Maybe this is an issue with 8.1 x64?
Please help as I use SkyDrive almost every day!
Sincerely,
Mitchell B
Steps:
Load and run Windows 8, with Skydrive loaded and run for 8 months no problems.
Upgrade to Windows 8.1 from Play store.
Start Windows explorer in Desktop view.
Navigate to a file (within a skydrive folder) and right click/copy.
Navigate to somewhere else and right click to paste
Result:
Explorer closes and returns you to desktop.
Expected:
Can right click and paste within Skydrive.
More Steps:
Open Windows explorer in Desktop.
Right click on Skydrive root folder.
Result:
Explorer closes and returns you to desktop after a few seconds stall.
Expected:
You can right click on Skydrive root folder without having crash.
Seriously, did anybody test this?
