Title: Windows Live Messenger Post by: Sark79 on July 19, 2006, 07:50:34 PM I got an email about this today from hotmail. Did anyone else get it?
Is it any good? Title: Re: Windows Live Messenger Post by: LukieD on July 19, 2006, 07:58:32 PM Upgraded earlier and for a few hours none of my contacts showed up. This is a known problem but has since been resolved. It seems pretty nice. Better looking and a few new features such as being able to talk to people when offline. Other than that it seems mostly cosmetic stuff like being able to have your name in colour. Haven't found anything particularly great yet.
Title: Re: Windows Live Messenger Post by: Sark79 on July 19, 2006, 08:08:50 PM I will probably download it later tonight. thanks
Title: Re: Windows Live Messenger Post by: Royal Flush on July 19, 2006, 08:58:07 PM Jane has had it for a whole (geek) it has caused a fair few problems on her PC. I put it on today and had the same contacts problem, however as soon as i added a contact my list re-populated.
Title: Re: Windows Live Messenger Post by: mikkyT on July 19, 2006, 09:02:00 PM Been using this for a few weeks and didnt get a problem, I think microsoft must have had a database problem. I know I was getting warning messages when logging in saying "server synronisation error: changes to your contacts will not be reflected on other computers or other versions of messenger" but that was a few days ago.
Title: Re: Windows Live Messenger Post by: Trace on July 19, 2006, 09:47:19 PM I've had it for ages, well the BETA version. It blips every now and then. My main PC hates it, but my lappy is quite partial.
I love being able to chat to who I want, when I want and everyone else thinks I'm offline. BLISS! Title: Re: Windows Live Messenger Post by: Ginger on July 19, 2006, 10:17:43 PM Yep, I've had major issues with it for several months now, like Trace my lappy loves it, but my desktop PC had some real issues with it. I tried to uninstall and re-install it again, but the problems persisted. It got so bad that I had to completely delete anything msn related. Even after all that, I can no longer use any MSN messenger, and have been relegated to stoneage Windows messenger... Sigh.
Apart from the issues on my desktop, I absolutely love the thing! In fact I think all the new Windows Live range is pretty good so far. Title: Re: Windows Live Messenger Post by: Sark79 on July 19, 2006, 10:40:05 PM I am going to leave this alone then. I will give it a couple of years until it is so old that a new version has been released. By doing it that way, there will be loads of "idiots guides" online that I can follow to rid my computer of problems. It is fashionable to be two years out of date. I am currently watching the Athens Olympic Games from 2004, after that it will be 2004 European Football Championships. I have a feeling Greece will do well in Euro 2004.

What else is there Live that I'm missing out on? Title: Re: Windows Live Messenger Post by: Ginger on July 20, 2006, 11:16:59 AM http://ideas.live.com/?mkt=en-gb (http://ideas.live.com/?mkt=en-gb)

If you are talking about 1 I would agree with you, but the Beta 2 in far better and I found no problems with it at all personally. Title: Re: Windows Live Messenger Post by: M3boy on July 21, 2006, 12:21:07 AM Probably was Beta 1 Jane - it was around 2 months ago

Title: Re: Windows Live Messenger Post by: MrMojoRisin on July 21, 2006, 10:32:23 AM You guys sound awfully technical. I’ve been an ‘IT professional’ for 10 years and haven’t got a clue what you are talking about.
Maybe it’s time for a change of career! >:? Title: Re: Windows Live Messenger Post by: Trace on July 21, 2006, 11:09:33 AM I think we aim to confuse most of the time! lol
Jane do you mean newest version of Project, or last one out? Have you searched POTUK? Title: Re: Windows Live Messenger Post by: Ginger on July 21, 2006, 11:36:34 AM I think we aim to confuse most of the time! lol Jane do you mean newest version of Project, or last one out? Have you searched POTUK? Any tbh Trace, I've looked on POT, and there was a couple floating around 8-9 months ago but both the links seem to be dead now :( Title: Re: Windows Live Messenger Post by: Trace on July 21, 2006, 11:44:56 AM I think we aim to confuse most of the time! lol Jane do you mean newest version of Project, or last one out?

Title: Re: Windows Live Messenger Post by: LukieD on July 21, 2006, 01:01:24 PM Messenger Live down for anyone else or just me? Login error saying it is temporarily unavailable >:(
Title: Re: Windows Live Messenger Post by: Sark79 on July 21, 2006, 06:19:32 PM I haven't been brave enough to download it yet. Seems like there are too many problems

Title: Re: Windows Live Messenger Post by: ifm on July 22, 2006, 12:52:52 AM i have it now, no probs at all, looks good
Title: Re: Windows Live Messenger Post by: dik9 on July 22, 2006, 12:01:31 PM Had it for 2 weeks, no problems here.
Title: Re: Windows Live Messenger Post by: Ginger on July 24, 2006, 10:53:56 AM I've finally resolved the issues I was having with WLM, it turns out that the early releases have compatibility issues with IE7 (I installed it to have a look at the new version, even though I don't use IE) uninstalled it this morning after a lengthy search of what the hell was wrong with the damn thing, and.....Hey Presto.
IT WORKS AGAIN!!! Woooooooohoooooooooo! :dd: :dd: :dd: |
