create event/group invite?

Tried that, but makes no difference. Also tried deleting the contacts folder and re-starting. However, it wouldn't log in then! I think when you just re-install, it still uses the original contacts folder. So I possibly need to try the un install, delete contacts and then re-install.

I think I must have corrupted my contacts file somehow, but does any one have any suggestion to fixing it. If I try to add a contact from my desktop machine, i just get a message saying that "Windows live service is not available now" and that i have added the contact, but they will be...

Fairly confident I have that "shared", as like i say it all worked on my xp laptop, just not on the Vista one.

I'm sure I must be missing something, and i'm sure it must be something fairly simple!! I have a desktop PC, running Windows Vista that is cabled to a Sky Router. Laptop also running Vista on wireless. Am trying to get laptop to be able to access files that are stored in "my" area on the...

I use a Dell for work, and HP for home. similar ages, work maybe 3 months newer. Dell machine never missed a beat at work, used 8 hrs a day both docked and undocked. Windows a bit slow, mainly cos of all crap i have running on it. HP laptop i have at home - hmm, wouldn't buy another one. Not...

I'm in the same situation as well, and i'm not happy about it either!! Not sure there is much we can do though. My plan is to keep on "everyday" and see what happens. When i was on Orange i had a stupidly low limit, and i'm sure i was over it within a week, but nothing ever happened about it.

Got to be the "microphose Grand Prix" series on Pc from a good few years ago. So ahead of their time.

I use Chrome nearly all the time - it is much faster than IE. I haven't found any pages that won't work, but there are odd ones that really don't look right. So i still have IE just in case.

Not got round to doing any tests with the RAM, but did install Windows today with no problems, so it's definitely either stick or slot. Potentially tomorrow's job to go further with the RAM tests!

Well, looks like it's Memtest FTW. Ran it this morning, and load of errors, on all tests, at same positions - between 640mb ish and 740 ish. Luckily Ram was split on 2x 512 sticks, so took 2nd one out and re ran tests, no errors. Could still be mother board slot i guess. Haven't tried...

Jacko, not tried a different drive. Surely would be unlucky to fail at same point on 2 different disks?? and the recovery partition won't work either. Jun, yeah sounds like a plan - what's easiest way to do that with no valid OS running?

Ok, been trying to sort an Advent PC for a mate. All started with some random Blue Screens i think, then got to point where it would just re-boot virtually as soon as it started. So, he tried to run the recovery application (without format), with recovery partition. That wouldn't work, kept...

Vodafone Contract ends this friday - handy. Had t hem call me trying to get me back on a deal last week, wasn't much he could say when i said i was waiting for a new i-phone. Well, tried to sell me a storm!

Scottydog - good call, that appears to have fixed it. For info - Version is 2009 (14.0.8064.206)
