Why do I have adverts in this when i pay for hotmail? Definately has a long way to go. (and yes I'm aware that it is a beta, but really I expect better).

I don't think they have setup premium accounts for Windows Live yet so until they do even premium users will have them.

Also, this is an experiment for Microsoft so we all need to give our strong feedback about the placement of these ads. Personally, I don't mind small ads that are not in the way, but their ad "feature" is terrible.

Thats exactly whats happening to me too :( . I have a live.be address and I live in the UK.

Its weird that it lets most people, but obviously not us, maybe to do with us being in the UK perhaps :unsure:

I use live.com email id and i had setup my location as India which prevents me from signing up WLM desktop beta. I changed the country to US even then i am not able to sign up, is there any one facing such problem, any remedy for this?

Mine is working now, so all you need is change the default location to US and wait for less than one day and sign up for WLMD

Can anyone please help me. When I open WLMDesktop BETA it first asks for have runnin' internet after that it says that msmail.dll couldn't load up. :cry:

You could try performing a repair. I had this issue... went to Add/Remove Programs, clicked 'Change' on the WLMD entry, and chose the Repair option. It repaired, and finished.

Then I started it up again, and it worked fine.

No gurantees though. WLMD has to be the buggiest Live product currently available. Works for some people, doesn't work for others. Your mileage may vary.

There is an error synchronizing your mail account, please call Microsoft support to resolve this issue. Subject 'Getting started with Microsoft Office Live Basics', Server: 'http://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v1.0.0/sync.aspx', Protocol: HTTPMail, Port: 80, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x8009000F, Error Number: 0x8009000F

I'm running this thing on Vista Public beta 2 and it keeps signing in automaticaly, without asking for my password. Now I know that with Vista Windows Mail identities are a thing of the past, you need to make a new user account in Vista for every user, which sucks if you ask me, it seems very unpractical to me. I mean how much disk space does a Vista user account take up for instance.

So maybe they are going along the same route with WLDM.

But anyway, does anyone know whether this automatic signing in is intended and can it be changed?

I looked on the Microsoft message boards for all the Live apps but couldn't find an answer there.
