Dear Microsoft,

always been a huge fan of Microsoft's messenger applications. The main thing, why I loved Windows Live Messenger was because of the possibility to "share files thru a folder". Slowly but surely ;-) it was sharing my files in the background. (OK, didn’t work often.. but when it worked.. it simply worked lol)

"Sharing Folders", was the feature why all my friends switched to WLM. Now, the latest beta (which looks absolutely amazing!!!) doesn't have this feature anymore.

You've replaced it with some "web-sharing". Nothing against this web sharing feature, but isn't there a way that you integrate the good old Sharing Folders in the next stable of WLM? I bet many, many other people would love to have this feature back.

BTW, the new sharing feature doesn't work anyway. When I click on the menu it tries to open "http://skydrive.live-int.com/home.aspx?provision=1". After 2 minutes of trying to access the page it stops. When I manually open 'skydrive.live.com' it works.

Sorry, but that way it’s pretty useless... when I want to share a file, I have to open my web browser, open skydrive.live.com, log in, etc.

PLEASE, bring back good old sharing folders.

I have Outlook 2003, and I regularly receive HTML format emails with
embedded .PNG files. However, those files do not display in the message, even
though the .GIF files display fine.

What can I do so that I can also see the .PNG files?

I don't know if this belongs in Microsoft or in HP? So I'm putting it in both.

When ether I or my computer's security runs a disk defragment, and after its done all the programs on my computer randomly quits responding. like if i'm on the internet both Firefox or IE will stop responding. I then will have to open the task manager to close whatever program stopped responding. then reopen it. I even had the task manager stop responding a few times.
This not responding will get so bad I will have to run a destructive recovery, then everything will be fine The security I'm using is Windows Live One Care and it runs whats called a tune up every 2 weeks and it runs Disk defregment during this tuneup and it can't be stopped I can only change how often it runs it. but after a while If I don't run a disk defragment my computer gets really slow.

When i called HP Tech support they keep telling me to run a destructive recovery. that's the only thing can tell me to do, now since my extended warranty ran out they won't help me with out charging me $49.00 to my phone bill. I went ahead and did that one time and they told me to run a destructive recovery, wasted $49.00

There has to be a different way to handle this beside running a destructive recovery every other month.

I don't know what else to do I just about gave up and went out and bought a new computer. this computer is only a year and one and a half months old. then i was watching some tech show on Fox news when they mentioned this site as being as good place to get real help fast. so I'm here can anybody help me with this?

Since upgrading to OS 10.5 MS Word (not the most recent version) stubornly refuses to work when I have selected Cymraeg keyboard (Welsh)...

First of all, I'm using Windows Vista and Office 2003 on an Inspiron 1420.

The problem only happens when I'm working in Word, and it involves my
external USB mouse or touchpad.

Whenever I use the center scroll wheel on my mouse or scrolling section of my trackpad to scroll through a
Word document, it scrolls downwards just fine, but when I try to scroll
upwards, the screen/page won't refresh properly.

It only seems to happen in normal or outline view, but not in print view.

As a result, one or more lines of text will appear to repeat over and
over on the page. If I keep scrolling up, the same repeated lines of
text just continue to multiply.

I've found that I can "temporarily" interrupt the problem by clicking
with my mouse on Word's built-in vertical scroll bar and moving the
page either up down significantly -- then the text refreshes and goes
back to normal.

This happens in all documents i have tried, regardless of length or apparent complexity of the document.

Others have experienced this problem without relief (e.g. http://groups.google.com/group/micros...)

What is themeManager.xml ?

It appears that Excel 2007 adds a reference to something called themeManager.xml when you save the files in the 2003 compatibility mode (i.e. .xls).

Does anyone know what themeManager.xml does?
