Windows Live Hotmail
MSDN Forums: Live General -
Tonight I tried to sign into one of my hotmail accounts through Opera Web Browser which notmally works fines. I started to use this as Firefox 3 wont run Live Hotmail unless its the classic version. Everybody but Microsoft seems to know this.
Anyway a message appears suggesting I will get better features by upgrading to Firefox or IE Suggest to Microsoft they
change this message as the display via Opera is superb
Windows Live Favorites Problem
MSDN Forums: Live General -
I am having a problem with Windows Live Favorites in the Windows Live Toolbar.
It used to never remember my login information, but over the last few days I get an error saying:
The passport network is not available. Please try signing in later. Error# 0x80070005
Can anyone please advise what is causing this issue and what can be done to resolve it?
Thanks
HID Interfacing in C#
MSDN Forums: Live General -
Hi All,
I am a newcomer in this complex arena of interfacing and using C#. While reading a book regarding this I have got the following things as confusing (for me)-
A call to ReadFile API function doesn’t initiate IN traffic on the bus. It just retrieves a report that the host previously requested in one of it’s periodic IN transfer or if there are no unread reports, waits for next scheduled transfer to complete.
The host begins requesting reports after enumeration when the HID driver is loaded. The driver stores the reports in a ring buffer.
When the buffer is full and a new report arrives the oldest report is overwritten. A call to ReadFile reads the oldest report in the buffer.
The default buffer size is 32 reports and an application can set the buffer size with the HidD_SetNumInputBuffers function. (The maximum size under Windows XP and later is 512)
My question is:
> How does host automatically begin requesting report without my ReadFile api call?
> What does it mean- periodic IN transfer? What is that periodic time interval then? Is all this done by the driver?
> How ReadFile can understand that there is no unread report?
How Please help me.
For your information I am using your win XP and the c# classes you provided in your site recently.
waiting for your reply
thanks in advance 
Custom Domains SDK, PHP/SOAP addition
MSDN Forums: Live General - Sorry it's been awaile since I got into this and really havent done much since I got everything working. I did intend to give the community inlarge a working php/soap script 2 years ago.
I just got an email asking about it and had to fix the script and remembered mentioning someplace I was going to offer this. a year or so ago I got out of the open source deal after an upset with codev's walking away and using months of code in other projects, code that saved the project from dieing in the first place! anyway...
you can download the script here...

Microsoft Office Outlook Connector Vs. Smart Phones
MSDN Forums: Live General -
I just switched my email for my domain to be hosted by Windows Live from Exchange 2003 server.
So far so good. I'm able to do email, contacts, and calendar with both Outlook 2007 and the web interface (mail.live.com).
The main reason I swtiched mail systems was my Exchange 2003 server was getting to much spam email and Windows Live has decent spam filters.
Using the Outlook Connector is great as I said ealier but it does lack important features.
When I had Exchange 2003, I was able to use my Treo 700p (palm version) and do push mail using Exchange Active Sync.
Now that I use Windows Live, I can no longer use my smart phone to do email, contacts, or calendar.
As a user, I need to use my smart phone to access email, contacts, and calendar with Windows Live.
I view this as a critical feature that Windows Live lacks.
I did read that some of the smart phones that use MS mobile os can do these features in a limited manner. However, I shouldn't have to buy a new smart phone just because I switched email systems. Email systems and smart phones should be indepenent of each other and not one dependent on the other.

howto remove url from live search cache msnscache.com?
MSDN Forums: Live General - hi guys,
Heres a question.
a page has been cached in search.live.com search results when I search for a particular phrase.
I've corrected the page, by a) removing the phrase and b) adding META noarchive, no-cache.
I've updated the sitemap for the domain using the live.com webmaster site.
Yet when I search in live.com for that phrase the sites appear.
The page is being cached at the following: http://cc.msnscache.com/....
How do I remove these page(s) from the cache?
This is kinda urgent.
Ta in advance

Windows Live Admin Centre SDK: Help with PHP please?
MSDN Forums: Live General -
Hi,
After looking around on the web, I was having major difficulty trying to find anything of use, So ill post this here in the hope that Search engines index this for others (A good PHP starting point?)
However, I am having difficulty doing anything after the login is done, I can verify it, But something like TestConnection i'm unable to do... I've tried adding the headers, with no luck.
My other thought was to add the cookie (which PHP also sets for every request after that... but that didnt work...
Could someone give me a pointer or perhaps even a sample function of "TestConnection" with the headers set?
I appreciate your time, Thanks
Joshua "JD" Davison.
