    Hello
    I live in Canada but somehow my account with Windows Live One care says I live in the USA. Now I need to renew my subscription but can't because I'm not able to change the country, no matter what I've tried. I can't enter my address in Canada since it's asking me for a state. I checked in my hotmail account and it does say I live in Canada. What do I do? My subscription expires in 2 weeks...

    If your details for your subscription LiveID at https://billing.microsoft.com show your country as US and cannot be changed, you have 3 choices:
    1. Abandon this subscription when it expires and purchase a new subscription by using a new LiveID. This will require uninstalling and reinstalling OneCare. You can purchase a new subscription online or use a retail copy.
    2. Purchase a retail box copy of OneCare and renew your existing subscriptio at https://billing.microsoft.com by selecting the option to renew with a PIN or key.
    3. Contact Billing support for help. However, past reports here have indicated that they may not be able to change the profile information for your Billing account.
