Windows Live OneCare (1.5) Beta Available


Recommended Posts

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 am kinda sad that there is no x64 support for it yet. i only run x64 systems anymore and i would like to use this software but i guess i just am not able to use it as of yet. but i can hope for the best in the future just wish they had it now.

I've just received an email from Connect. I'll be downloading it as soon as I have time :D .

Scirwode

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.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper.

    • No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.
    • Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
    • It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.
