@Simon: ^^ Your @live.com account already has Windows Live Mail access. Go ahead, go through the seemingly "Hotmail"-ish registration, only to find you actually have Windows Live Mail Beta access :p At least, that's my experience with @live.com addresses; the country identifiers might come into play here...[and as the topic poster says, @windowslive.com currently doesn't co-operate with WLMail out of the bag just yet..]

Excellent!

Now, I just want my Windows Live Mail back! Someone want to send me an invite? I'd appreciate it a lot.

if you just signed up and got a live.com....just go to hotmail.com and sign in with it...its is the live mail..I just got a @live.com address and went to hotmail.com and signed in with it.

I get this error:

We're unable to retrieve information for this section at this time. We're sorry for the inconvenience, please try again later.

That's strange...

This happened to me, I went to the old MSN Account Services and it asked for my D.O.B & country. once they're filled in, I was able to then view the live.com edit page. Previously I got the same error.

You need to export them via the contacts menu (save), then delete them all and finally re-import them via the contacts menu

cool, i got my live account!

Some of my input:

If you receive "this doesn't apply to your account" message, simply logout and clear your cookies...Then relogin from live.login.com and continue with steps 3 and on.

We're unable to retrieve information for this section at this time. We're sorry for the inconvenience, please try again later.

If you receive this error or another after you get to the login change area and hit the "accept" button below...(Specifically the error will be in the area were "availibilty" messages are received) wait a few minutes and more than likely it goes through. (Mine worked successfully after recieving this error, simply go back to the login.live.com area and try and login with your @live.com account to see if it verified)

Also make sure all certificates are allowed in Firefox browsers.

EDIT: You can login to hotmail.com with your @live.com account, it simply redirects you to windows live mail.

manduck: yes you choose "register a new ID" then you input an existing NON-HOTMAIL/LIVE MAIL email address (for example [email protected])

this will register it for passport, then follow the other steps and change the address to @live.com

Then the non-hotmail / live mail address will be disassociated from Passport and you have a nice new @live.com email :D

there currently is no way to get it to forward to your existing hotmail / live mail account :p

after this wat should i do...sum one helpp

Register a new id as it is selected already on your screenshot. It will ask you for an email address you want to assiciate with passport (a NON-MSN/HOTMAIL email address). So put in any other email addresses you have (GMail, Yahoo, email from your ISP, whatever). Fill the remaining of the form out, and then follow the steps.

    • AMD 9070XT

      It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?
    • AMD 9070XT

      By cooky560 · Posted

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
