whenever i try to activate it, it tells me to go online, then it brings up a list of services to choose from and One Care isnt an option. and it just loops back to the same thing. Step by step this is what I do:

1. Click Activate in OneCare

2. It asks for a computer name so I type one, and then I say I already have a Windows Live ID.

3. Asks to sign in, so I sign in.

4. Then it says I have to press the Continue Online button. It opens IE to this page: http://www.windowsonecare.com/betapassport...ror=-2147217386

5. I press "Start Now" to start activation.

6. Sign in, again.

7. Then I get a page that says:

Review Details for your location:

The selected plan is available, but the plan details may differ in your location. To review the plan details for your location, click Continue. so i click "continue".

8. It brings me to this page and i am stuck. http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-CA&Error=3022.

I'm tryhing to activate it from canada, which is supported.

Seems that if an incoming email contains virus attachments, it will be ignored..

I read in the forum somewhere that it will only detect if you are actually running the file... ??

They should have scanned incoming emails instead of waiting until you open it up

i used the key they gave me a few weeks ago. and it worked fine on vista

yea, as i found out, they havent given the keys to all the testers yet, and we're not supposed to activate untill they do. Also, it doesnt show up after the first time so it's ok.

One Care Versus AOL (Kaspersky) ?

I hate the AOL thing don't work as I wish, does the OC as anoying popup if I shut down a service? I don't need mail protection, I never open a attached file unless I confirm it with the sender. >.>

Also, if it detect a fake virus does it will come back saying that is a virus again and again? AOL think my samurize scripts are viruses... :rolleyes:

I got the first email too and today I got another invite from the Vista team. I haven't restarted yet, but I hope I don't have any problems, as it seems nearly everyone on here has some sort of problem with it.

I installed it, but I still cant finish the installation. When I press that button in OneScreen main window it just tells me that it can't connect somewhere.. I did submit a support request, but still waiting for a reply from them..

Anyone had similar issue?

It done that to me and I uninstalled it. I was really liking it up until that point.

You talking about the button that you click to finalize the installation? Click it and it opens a window that stays there for about a minute and it says it was unable to complete the installation because it could not connect to the server?

Yeah that's it. It did the same exact thing to me. I'm actually glad to see someone else had the same issue. So hopefully it's just a small bug they can take care of.

I also think it's a pretty widespread issue, cause I saw a thread somewhere on connect on this issue.. no resolution just yet.. we'll see what ms does about it

Installing IE 7 Final breaks One Care. You need to uninstall and reinstall OneCare, you can then update as normal.

erm no it doesnt and no you dont,I had OneCare installed before upgrading to IE7 Final,during the IE setup it removes any previous versions of IE7,it goes back to IE6,OneCare will display a message saying theres an upgrade to IE(IE7) and you should upgrade to get the best security etc.

My OneCare has been working fine althrough the upgrade process.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
