Kari I had the same problem with PAYPAL. I gave up on them in the end will not try to use any of their services. Stewart

This is the reply I received (Twice) this morning. See the attachment. I think it is meant to show they have allocated a reference number, probably automatic. Stewart

Thanks Davehc. I suspected as much. I had spoken to MS support and seemed to have someone who was willing to look into it. After 2-3 exchanges of email there was a 'oh I give up from him and maybe you should try the forum' This is typical of large company's. They work on the 80-20 rule fix...

I have emailed MS again about this problem. I will keep you informed. Thank you for your inputs. Regards Stewart

Hi Thanks for the ideas. 1st. I meant Notepad Sorry. 2nd I did as advised and disabled everything. I thought it was going to work without the 'what program do you want to open this file with?' I went into my WL-mail, nothing it opened ok I went onto the web and up it popped. So I thought I...

Azasadny. Thank you for your comment. I have used 8 for a while now without Norton, but with MS security essentials. Things have been pretty good,although I did have a 'GREEN SCREEN' which was a bit concerning. after about 10 minutes of trying to switch between desktop and metro it came...

I got a support notice from Novo' It said 'FREE upgrade for our Bundle customers' So I clicked on it to see what it said. 19Euro Admin Charge. In my book that is NOT FREE Stewart

While I tried Mail for a couple of days I found it did not offer the facilities I was used to on Windows live mail. I may be old school, but I don't yet trust the cloud to keep all my important messages etc. So I have local folders for important long term storage of messages I may need access...

Well in the end I gave up on NORTON and uninstalled it...! I also uninstalled another security package and re-installed the "IN 8 version. Restarted and It seems a lot more stable. My Major gripe is that the WIN 8 analyse your system before upgrade did not identify these applications as being a...

Thanks Littlejay I have just spent 2 days with MS tech, looking at WIN 8 problems I will be testing the solution shortly, just clearing my emails. MS say they are working with Norton but that Norton utilities has problems on win 8 so I will switch it off for now. They also do not like...

May be I spoke too soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It worked fine yesterday. It appeared to work this morning. Now one of my pop accounts has got itself stuck downloading a message. It gets the number of mails to download correct. but seems to just lock up on the downloading the first email...

I am a fan of Norton. They greatly improved their customer service a few years ago and I trust them. One of their applications Norton utilities ran every night on WIN 7. it found a number of things to fix. I asked them why the same problems occurred regularly, they said they were working with...
