Hi guys, the windows live calendar keeps changing my options (many times) after I change to my preferred choices. The options that the calendar automatically changed to are:

- Language sometimes was changed to Chinese;

- Timezone changed to GMT;

- First day of week changed to Sunday;

- No reminder

Anyone have an idea why?

@ yanverm: my outlook 2007/outlook connector reported "calendar sync is for subscribers only". I guess free account does not work with calendar sync.

Thank you.

yeah it's good they have done a refresh even tho it's taken them 8 months.

I've been having issue with their reminders sending via e-mail and Windows Live Alerts hopefully they have fixed that.....

they need to release a mobile version and a way to sync it to outlook or even over the air via a mobile app (windows live for mobile)

Outlook Connector provides a free solution for managing your Windows Live Hotmail e-mail and contacts from within Outlook(1). With the new release of the Outlook Connector, you can connect your Windows Live Hotmail account in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2003 free of charge.

but...

(1) Access to Windows Live Hotmail calendar in Microsoft Office Outlook currently remains a feature for MSN Premium customers.

And MSN Premium customers is not available in Europe... :-(

@ nnbe : I have a paid account, so it works. But if I read the microsoft outlook connector page, it says:

"uw Windows Live Hotmail-account gratis aansluiten in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 of Outlook 2003. "

Wich means: "You can use your Windows Live Hotmail account FREE with Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 or 2003"

You should give it a try and let me know! It would be a good thing. Gmail, etc is also offering it free
