  2. old microsoft account still asking for password

    I switched to a new Microsoft account over a year ago. I switched Outlook, Office, Skype, and of course the main Microsoft account. All seem to be using the new account and they all list the new account email. However, I daily get a popup stating there
    is a problem with the Microsoft account. When I click on it it wants to sign me into the old account, and it won't allow me to change the email address to the old one. Also, certain tasks, like downloading a codec or chatting with support, asks me to log into
    the old account. I need to find where this old account is still listed and eliminate it. Any ideas? Thanks.
