Windows Live Beta Event
 I really like attending these Windows Live Events and Marcus posted this On-Demand Video of Windows Live Beta Overview Event. I asked some questions in this Windows Live Beta Overview video about the beta products. My questions start at 25:39 into the viewing of this video, and although I am embarrassed by hearing my voice on the video, I still want to post this in my Blog today. I think these event [Clubhouse]presentations are great because they make using Windows Live products so interactive. The events give the Clubhouse members a chance to interact and talk on the phone or type in a question to be answered in the video, in this case to Charlotte and Marcus.

I am having a small problem with the Windows Live Mail Beta contacts address book feature. I thought that the problem was fixed, but I went to use the address book feature again today it wasn’t working. I don’t really know how to write the details of the problem I am having so I thought I would try and make a video of what I am talking about. Then of course after I had my webcam all setup to try and record what I wanted to show you, I couldn’t get the error to happen. So all I can say is that the bug is intermittent and when it happens the only thing I can do is control/alt/delete and end the Windows Live Mail Beta program with the Windows Task Manager.

This is a picture Windows Live Mail did not shutdown Correctlyof the message displayed after I use the Windows Task Manger to close the program:

This is what it says: Windows Live Mail did not shutdown correctly:
The last time you ran Windows Live Mail it did not exit correctly. In case this was due to a problem with the last message you were viewing, the message is not being shown.

It’s just like when you have a problem with your car and you take it into the mechanic to have it repaired, but the problem wouldn’t replicate. I also had a problem with the Windows Live Writer Beta while I was making this Rosh Hashanah Prayer  background table and the error was sent to Microsoft as an error report. I didn’t lose any information or anything like that, but the error just keep regenerating itself over and over again. I think at one point I had 13 errors showing on my computer. I saved my post and reopened the Windows Live Writer and my post background table again and it worked fine, as you can see.

Although I have pointed out two small problems that I am having with the Windows Live Beta software. I have failed to talk about all the other great features of this new Windows Live software that I think Charlotte and Marcus show how great this product really is in the video. I am going to continue to use and learn about all these great new features of the Windows Live Beta. Join me and Download the new Windows Live Beta…I am sure you will love using it as much as I do, it is just Great!

Thanks for Listening,
