In Outlook Express using Windows XP, I had an icon which appeared in bottom right of screen if un-opened mail was in my Inbox.

Now using Windows Live Mail with Windows 8.1.

Can I get a similar icon to show?

I have recently upgraded my laptop from Windows XP to Windows 7 Professional.  I receive emails through Windows Live Mail.  I receive a pop-up that says:

Windows Live Mail

A problem occurred while trying to open this message.

A problem has occurred.  Please try again.

There is also a block with OK option inside.

Question:  How do I get rid of this pop-up as it denies me access to many emails...sometimes one email...sometimes all the emails.

Thank you!

I have a selection of tapes on a JVC GR-D63 camera which, after a long illness, I have got around to trying to download to my new PC (my old Windows XP died on me).  I am always met with something like your connection is incomplete or turn your device on. I have tried JVC and they don't do a driver update to Windows 8. Any ideas on how to solve this problem would be most appreciated as many of the pics are irreplaceable.

The date today is Mar. 25/14 and this question refers to Microsoft Security Essentials. I am running Windows XP. Mine is now showing the following:

PC Status: Potentially Unprotected. My XP has all the latest updates and I also has been scanned with no problems.  DOES THIS MEAN THAT MICROSOFT

SECURITY ESSENTIALS IS FINISHED AS OF TODAY???????? Thanks!

Previously I used Live Mail with Windows XP and completely satisfied. I now have new laptop with Windows 8.1 and have installed Live Mail which also works well (though different!).

Unfortunately, having imported mail from the old PC, I inadvertently deleted the Storage folders! Disaster as I had not backed up the recent emails.

They have not been retained by my server.

Is there any way to get them back? Where can I look?

my old laptop a dell running windows xp crashed and I was able to save off my old digital movie clips from my old pc and restore them on my new pc running windows 8
When I open the movie clips in window media player or movie maker I can hear the audio put the video image is not there.
How can I fix this?
The reason I ask is to determine if it would solve my Windows Movie Maker problem: preview pane (monitor) remains black despite dragging images onto the Timeline, and nothing can be saved to my computer.  There's an error message that the source no longer exists or there isn't enough disk space (there is plenty) and another thing which I've forgotten.  Someone kindly suggested Pstory, but I can't persuade it to work despite having studied the tutorials.  Pstory won't allow me to make a video more than a minute long despite a three minute soundtrack.  I've given up on it.  My guess is that the only option I have is to purchase a movie maker compatible with Windows XP if they exist.  If they do, what are they?  Thank you.
Sincerely,

I have windows XP. Do I need to get windows 8? Either for all of the Microsoft and outlook stuff but also for the xbox live. Because my son is getting his xbox for christmas and I want it to all work!!

I am running Windows 8.1 with Windows Live Mail as my desktop e-mail client. What should the ideal default encoding setting be so that there’s no need to constantly change the setting to be able to make some messages fully readable.  

Currently my default setting is Windows European (Windows) but frequently, unless I change the encoding to Unicode UTF-7 or Unicode UTF-8 or Windows European (ISO), the text is embedded here and there with some funny symbols which I find most annoying.  Is there anyway to avoid this.  Even if I have any one of the other encoding as the default, the same thing happens.  I only receive e-mails from U.S.A. and U.K. addresses in English, so what could be the problem?  

And as regards message fonts, why is it that whenever messages are printed, the size of the font on the printed text is quite small and different.  For example, on my old computer running Windows XP with Outlook Express, if the text font of the same message is say ARIAL, 12pt, then it prints as such and appears as such on the screen.  But on my new computer running Windows 8.1 with Windows Live Mail, whenever I print messages written say with CALIBRI 14pt font. the size of the font of the text is extremely small and hardly resembling the CALIBRI font. On the screen, however, the text is correctly displayed as on my old computer. 

Is there an explanation and how can this be rectified?    All responses would be appreciated.

  

I am trying to move my email from an old desktop, running Windows XP, to a laptop, running Windows 7.  I  exported the email from Outlook Express and confirmed that a .dbx file was created for each folder in Outlook Express.   I loaded Window Live Mail onto the laptop but when I try to import the email into Windows Live Mail, many of the folders do not get imported and so much of my email is missing.
