Real Geek Forums - Windows XP Beta http://www.realgeek.com/forums en Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:15:50 GMT vBulletin 60 http://www.realgeek.com/forums/mpedia/misc/rss.jpg Real Geek Forums - Windows XP Beta http://www.realgeek.com/forums Windows 7 http://www.realgeek.com/forums/windows-7-beta-testers-471060-new-post.html Fri, 09 Jan 2009 16:45:01 GMT I've been looking for sometime to get into the 'insider' group of beta
testers, yet no luck so far. My question is, where do they get these beta
testers and what are the requirements.

So far, Windows 7 has been very stable and had good performance marks,
finally persuaded me to leave Windows XP and even more impressive, Ubuntu
8.10 and Linux Mint. However, I don't think I'm just ready to shell out the
(probably) 300$ for the Ultimate final version.

I'd really like to participate in a Windows 7 discussion board/newsgroup,
aside of the public ones riddled with spam and comments posted by '13 year
old fail whalers'.

]]> Windows XP Beta Windows 7 http://www.realgeek.com/forums/windows-7-beta-testers-471060.html Importing A *.WAB FILE INTO Windows Live Mail Beta http://www.realgeek.com/forums/importing-a-wab-file-into-windows-live-mail-beta-392256-new-post.html Sat, 25 Oct 2008 19:30:24 GMT Is this a "known issue"?

I've posted this to the Windows Live Mail newsgroup and have not
received an answer of any sort.

When I try to import a *.wab file of address-book contacts from OE 6
into the WLM beta, using XP SP3, the following happens:

1. The file imports cleanly and all contacts in OE 6 are present in
WLM.

2. I close WLM beta.

3. The next time I open WLM beta the contacts are gone. I have zero
contacts.

Do I need to do something to *save* the contacts in WLM beta?

Does anyone have insights into this and perhaps a solution?

My experience is that I successfully import a *.wab file -- but as
soon as I close WLM the contacts apparently go into the bit bucket and
WLM tells me I have no contacts at all, the next time I open it.

*.csv files won't import at all.

Curious...

I do know what the cleaners are recommending and I would not live without
their very valuable service.... but I could do without the registry
altogether... it's nothing more than an unwieldy headache as an attempt to
institute control over the o/s while doing nothing but adding an unnecessary
layer of time-wasting administration without providing any additional
security while just bogging everything down with a ridiculous amount of
system overhead...

okay... I've had my rant... I'm just here to find out what happened to
express' "block sender" feature in live mail... I would have thought it
would be easier to killfile idiots on usenut with more features, but if
"message rules" is supposed to be the "updated solution"... then this just
irks me that much more...
