Sorry, I'm new to T-bird, and am not a geek. I have tried all kinds of instructions about how to copy windows live mail contact list to import into T-bird. They are not working. I get two error messages.
Thanks for your reply, but your solution did not work. I have downloaded T-bird version 78.5.1 on Dec 9, 2020. I am using Windows 10, with the most recent updates. I did an export of the contact list from my Windows Live Mail and saved it as a VCF file (as you suggested )onto a thumb drive, which I then removed from my desk top and plugged into my note book. When I then click on T-bird Tools, I get the Import box. When I select Address Book then Next, the next Import box allows me to select vCard file (.vcf). I then get a "Select address book file" with the name of the file I saved on the thumb drive (it's actually a folder titled "VCF Address Book"). The blank field box at the bottom asks for a file name, which I oblige by filling in "VCF Address Book". The only next option is to click on the "Open" button which results in presenting my whole list of each contact. There are no more option buttons to click on but another "Open" button. When I click on that, nothing happens. Period. I seem to run into stone walls. Exporting and Importing all sounds very straight forward but for some reason does not seem to be working for me. I really want to get this to work so I can switch over to T-bird. Again I like what I'm seeing and am hopeful I can use T-bird without having to manually build my contact list. Hopefully all this info helps you. Thanks.
You can't import a folder of vcf files in one step. TB will only import a single vcf file, but you have to select one in the Open window. Instead of doing this for each file that represents a single contact, it's recommended to merge the vcf files into one vcf file and then import it.
Well, thank you to everyone who tried to help me solve my problem about transferring my contact list from Windows Live Mail to TB. As it turned out, being not a geek (with ALL respect) I wound up building my TB contact list by the old school method, that being copy and paste, copy and paste..... The effort took time, but the result works just fine. So now I can move along and get comfortable using TB as my default email. Thanks to all for making this such a very nice email client.
I recently got a computer from school. It came with Windows 8.1 installed. I then installed another copy of Windows 8.1 (so it would use the built-in Windows Pro license) and upgraded it to Windows 10. I then installed Ubuntu alongside both Windows 8 and 10.
Now, when I boot the computer, I first see a GRUB prompt (I already un-hid the grub prompt 'cuz I like it that way) with Windows 8 and Ubuntu options. However, there is no Windows 10 option. If I select Ubuntu, the computer boots into Ubuntu. However, if I select the Windows 8 option, I then get sent to the Windows bootloader, where it then gives me options to boot either Windows 8 or Windows 10. (However, by this point, the computer has already loaded the kernel and all. Apparently Microsoft misunderstood the concept of a bootloader and decided that that meant "boot practically the entire system before actually showing the bootloader". Typical Microsoft.)
EDIT 2: After removing Windows 10 from the Windows bootloader with EasyBCD, it seemed that, after a few reboots, it would continually unhide itself and Windows 10 would reappear. However, I then later deleted Windows 10 from the list of OSes in msconfig, and it seems to have stayed deleted.
This solution provides a proper entry in the grub2 menu and chainloads directly into Windows 10 without reference to the BIOS. It comes from this webpage so I claim no credit. It was such a relief to find a working solution.
To find the UUID for the --set=root line (CC66-4B02 in the example) you use sudo fdisk -l to identify the EFI partition then sudo blkid /dev/sda1 (or whatever) to find the UUID of the EFI partition. Note it's not the Windows partition but the EFI one you need. Once you've saved the edit, run sudo update-grub to generate the /boot/grub/menu.cfg file and then restart to test.
As far as I understood your question you have two different Windows installations on one or more harddrives and you don't want the Windows loader to get in the way or managing both Windows installations. I remember that it was possible on legacy setups to directly boot the Windows kernel from Grub (I may be wrong here) but I haven't been able to do this on UEFI setups. Having two independent Windows bootloader configurations that can be called from Grub independently should be very close to what you are looking for.
You need to create a new EFI Partition for the later installed windows. Because the one first installed had its own EFI but the later one seeing another windows just added its own entry to the bootloader now creating its own EFI in /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi so fire up CMD as admin on your Windows 10 and enter the following commands (From here on TenForums):
After looking for a solution for a while, and also being lazy for not trying to spend another hour finding out what and where should I edit and update (as it was futile) I eventually installed Grub Customizer. Works wonders!
For my specific setup I wanted to completely hide grub menu and automatically boot windows unless a hotkey was pressed to boot Ubuntu. So in my specific case os-prober isn't an option because the most important step in hiding the grub menu, which most answers I found neglect to mention, is to set the disable os-prober flag or the menu WILL be shown until os-prober completes.
It took considerably longer than I had anticipated to get right because there are so many partial answers out there but most are version dependant and can lead you astray. I spent a lot of time trying write my own grub menu entry trying use grub commands that didn't exist like ntdlr. Another caveat is that the chainloader functions on my grub try to boot bios not efi and will not work.(Im sure I was doing something wrong?)
In the end the solution was actually simple as the scripts that make your /boot/grub/grub.cfg do most of the work for you in finding UUIDS for your boot partitions. So you can skip the fdisk and blkid steps most people mention.
In my experience if I use a profile achievement unlocker for GFWL, then sign back into live, it only registers the achievement for a short while then goes away. Same with xbox live games for windows phones. Just something is different within the profile. This unlocker allows you to unlock any achievement for you while signed in playing the game.
Lol yeah it can be hit or miss for me. Not really sure why. Still trying to figure out away to unlock windows phone game achievements and having them stick. They even show up in profile editors, but no luck.
How do I make this work for LOST PLANET 2. I start the game but it always loads to FULL SCREEN I have no desktop access to use your software once the Game and GFWL is open and connected.
Been 8 years hope you get this. You can reply back to hydr...@shaw.ca thanks
Recently I checked my Contacts list in Windows Live Mail and I was shocked to see that it was full of new email IDs which I never added. I was wondering why Windows Live Mail added those email IDs to my contacts list without my permission?
I checked all settings carefully and finally I found an option which was causing this issue. Actually Windows Live Mail comes with a built-in option to automatically add people you reply to your contacts list (or address book) after third reply.
So if you also use Windows Live Mail Desktop email client and want to manually add desired email IDs to your contact list, check out following simple steps to disable this automatic feature and to disallow Windows Live mail to automatically add email IDs to your contacts list without your permission:

Windows Live SpacesDeveloperMicrosoftWebsitespaces.live.com (Archived index)Windows Live Spaces (previously MSN Spaces) was a blogging platform and social network service developed by Microsoft. The site was released in early 2004 to compete with other social networking services, and re-launched in 2006 as part of a shifting of community services away from the MSN brand. Windows Live Spaces received an estimated 27 million unique visitors per month as of August 2007.[1] Despite being considered a useful messaging and communication tool, Windows Live Spaces had been criticized as not being as powerful as some of its alternatives. In 2011 it was shut down due to low viewership.
Some of the features of Windows Live Spaces included a blogging system, photo gallery, lists, friends, a guestbook, and a social profile. A Spaces page could be personalized with "gadgets", modules that enabled further customization, HTML code, and media playlists. Contact cards were also used in other Windows Live applications and services to summarize the recent content added to a Space. RSS feeds were available for content on a Space.
