anyone on here had their hotmail account hacked into? Happened to me and was wondering the best way to prevent a repeat attack?

many thanks

A more complex password?

just done that now..thanks

Thanks for that, its my wife's PC but will give livemail a try. My setup details have all been confirmed. (Often)

I can now send emails with no problem on virgin account and I have done absolutely nothing to the PC since Saturday. The problem must have been at Virgins end.

I give up

I tried that GodMode that you kindly posted a while ago.
Basically I can't get it to work. I copied & pasted your code & checked it with the video. The icon doesn't change. It's still a folder named as per the code. When I click on it, I just get the message that the folder is empty. Any ideas please?
I'm running W7 64 bit.
Cheers
Edit: Strange - when I pasted the full code, for this message, the numbers in { } disappeared.
GodMode.
2nd edit - It's done it again as per above.

I had the same problem as you and if memory serves solved it by creating a folder in C: drive in windows explorer then using suggested code.

iiwarm.
Thanks for that, but it was still the same.
Cured it by typing in the code instead of copy & paste.
Sorted :-)

Sorry to hear that, Bolshi.

Once you've created the folder then all you have to do is 'double click' on it to open it. And there, right before your very eyes, all the different settings you can mess about with, will appear.

For starters, GodMode is not really a mode. It's merely a folder packed with shortcuts to just about every settings change and administrative function in Windows 7. Everything you'll find in the Action Center, Backup and Restore, Autorun, Desktop Gadgets, Devices and Printers -- it's all there. All dumped in one central location for easy access.

Once again, here are the very simple magic instructions, as provided by the guys at Windows 7 Themes:

1. Create a new folder anywhere (you could use drive D:\ - but perhaps drive C:\ is best)

2. Rename the folder by removing 'New Folder' and pasting in the following text:

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

That's it! You've now got your new, somewhat handy folder.

NB. By the way, I notice that if I try to use MoneyAM's 'Edit' facility with this post, then this bit of text alters itself to saying simply "GodMode." and all the rest of it just disappears. I have to start again and post the full piece of text back in again in its full original form to get it to end up reading correctly in the post. I wonder if something like this phenomena, is what you might be getting yourself?

Anyhow, when finished on your machine and done correctly, you should just see a folder in the Computer section, thast isn't coloured yellow like all the rest, but 'looking like a little blue monitor thingy on a stand'. Once you get this, then just 'double click' on it to open the folder.

Exec.
It is a pretty amazing piece of gizmo. That'll keep me amused for hours while waiting for all my share prices to recover :-(
See my above post about copy & paste though. I had to do it by hand (ooer missus!!)
Strange how the code dissappears in editing Moneyam posts ain't it?
Ta v much

You've all got delusions of grandeur! :-)

I have WIN7 on a new PC and on my old WIN Vista I have for years used a software -Updata Fairshares.
I transferred the total Vista hard disc to the WIN7 one, only Updadta won`t open, all the files are there incl. the exe file, the troubleshooter won`t open them either- the one which " replicates" older Windows.
I found the Updata installation CD, but again WIN7 refuses to open that,looked on google but nothing on there works either- am I stuck?

grrrrr!!!!

The transferring of the disk to the new machine and the software not working is not that surprising. It may appear that you have transferred everything and it all ought to be the same, but there may be registry entries that would have been effectively part of the installed software base on the original PC. The new PC won't have those registry files as they are only set up during installation.

The problem with the installation CD is more of a mystery. It may be because you already have Updata on that disk but not installed (ie no registery files).

So basically its fecked haystack?

lol

Not necessarily. Do you still have the old PC? If so then your current installation is fine. You might try removing all the Updata stuff on the new machine and trying Updata installation again on the new machine. I used to use Updata many years ago, but can't remember too much about it. I presume there is a licensing system. The installation is probably checking for the existance of a version on the machine that is in 'good standing' per the license. When you say that the installation CD won't open, what exactly do you mean by that in terms of actual symptoms.

If all else fail then contact updata.

Yes I did contact them, they were of no help,I only used the portfolio element of the software not the live feed.
"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of WIN7 your running.
Check your computerssystem information to see if you need x86(32bit) or 64 bit
version of the prog-and contact the software publisher-hollow laugh for the last bit.

Actually there are a couple of other transferred progs from the old PC showing the same message.
I can use the old PC if necessary but the screen is knacked, I can watch it on the tele
if necessary!

That's a different problem. Some programs meant for XP may not run in Vista or Win 7. There are features in Vista and Win 7 where you can run programs in XP compaitibility mode. Some of these features come as standard but some are only in versions such as Vista ultimate (not sure of the Win 7 equivalent). Try the Windows Help system and look for XP etc.

Cheers will do
