Custom emoticons messed up
Since I updated my messenger to 8.1.0178.00 all my custom emoticons are
messed up.
I already removed them all and added them again in the order I want them to
appear but after a restart it was a mess again.
Does anybody have a suggestion to get this fixed? Tag: slm Tag: 89231

Disable MSN Messenger Group Policy
Is there any way to prevent clients from running MSN Messenger client with
Group Policy? There is a way to disable Windows Messenger but that only
applies to version 4, not the latest version.
I don't want to go through the hassel of tracking down all the ports, IP's,
etc... to block the services at the firewall.
I guess this should apply to other messaging applications as well, like AIM
and Yahoo IM. Tag: slm Tag: 89229
contacts can add me without permission
I gave my msn address to someone who added me as a contact. It didnt ask
permission but added them anyway. I didnt see them on my list but they could
see my display picture and initiate a conversation. This has happened twice
in the last month. I have the relevant boxes ticked in the privacy options so
it should be asking my permission. Any advice appreciated. Thanks Tag: slm Tag: 89228

What is the correct Messenger Etiquette?
G'day All,
When your in a Messenger conversation. What timeframe is socially
acceptable for responses?
I think within 30 seconds ... but I have a friend who seems to think 5
minutes plus is socially acceptable and considered a conversation.
Whereas I say 5 minutes is Rude and 30 seconds is the maximum time it should
take to respond.
So please tell me. What is the correct Messenger Etiquette?
Thanks

Contacts groups duplicated
Hi,
I have installed Windows Live Messenger 8.1 in two computers. One is an
English version and the other one in Spanish. It appears I have two groups of
everything, e.g two Family groups, two friends groups and each of them with a
set of contacts.
To fix the problem, I decided to move all my friends contacts to one single
friend group and delete the extra group, like that for all my groups. I did
this for the English version. When I log in in the Spanish one, there are no
more groups and all my contacts appear in other contacts folder!
Is it so that there is one single database of contacts and I should see the
same groups on both Live Messengers? Tag: slm Tag: 89208
MSN Messenger 8.1 hangs on install
Hey Group,
Got a big problem installing 8.1. As with nearly all Microsoft products, the
initial install progress goes from 0 to 99,9% in less than 1 second and then
it says:
"Please wait.. This may take a few minutes"..
Well.. So far it's been saying that for nearly 2 hours with no CPU-activity
or anything else. This is the third time I'm trying to install 8.1 en-US
edition and of course I'm not even able to cancel the installation, so I have
to do a cold restart of my machine in order to "roll back" the installation.
What could be wrong!?!
Thanks in advance,
DonRex. Tag: slm Tag: 89204
unable to sign in to msn/web messengers
I was signed into msn messenger 7.5 this afternoon, but i cannit sign in this

ok.
This is exactly the same for web messenger and msn messenger.
The pc is stable and no changes have been made - guaranteed!!
So what is the difference between the hotmail.com and hotmail.co.uk

MSN Messenger fails to connect (81000314) through my VPN
I have recently replaced my laptop with a new one. Now MSN Messenger fails
to connect (81000314) through my VPN. It connects just fine if am going
straight through my ISP.
Unfortunately, I work remotely and I really need messenger to accomplish my
job. And I need it while connected to my work domain via the VPN.
Turning off the firewall makes no difference. The Messenger 7.5 Connection
Troubleshooter claims there is no problem. I am using the same account to log
in wether through the VPN or not.
Any advice, pointers or other help would be greatly appreciated. Tag: slm Tag: 89199
MSN Messenger suddenly whining aout "key ports"?
MSN Messenger 7.5
Error 80072eff
I had a good connection and suddenly all is dead. With the "Solving
connection problems" part of Messenger, all the test are okay until it comes
to "Key ports" ... that test fails and it says that my proxy (which I don't
use) or my firewall (where I didn't change 1 thing) is the problem. Curious
on that because Messenger worked just fine before with all the same
settings?

Windows Live disconnecting and lost messages
Am currently using Windows Live Messenger Version 8.1 (Build 8.1.0178.00). I
had a few problems with MSN Messenger disconnecting me but since I clicked
the "Upgrade now" link and got the latest Windows Live Messenger it is
frequently disconnecting me from the internet and then reconnects again by
itself (with the 30 seconds till reconnect countdown etc). Also I am not
getting all the messages through, friends send something and I find I have
missed a message, or not all my messages get through they bounce back saying
"could not be delivered".
I'm on an 8 Meg broadband package and they sent me a new router a couple
months ago so I am assuming its got the right software on it (not that I'd
know how to change it if it hasn't). Any ideas?. Thanks. Tag: slm Tag: 89178
Message creation with carriage returns?
Windows Live Messenger seems to work more like a chat client than an
instant messaging client. I like to type a few lines before sending a
message, but if I hit enter in WLM it sends what I've typed so far, and my
contact is busy replying "wtf?" while I'm still finishing what I mean to
say. Is there any way to make the enter key just give me a new line in the
compose box, and not send the message until I click the Send button?

Hello,I've create a game using msn search.
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
--------------040506060404000908040904
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=GB2312
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
The game is called "Msn friends":
the site is now here: http://tactoth.512j.com
hope you'll enjoy!!
1.What's the rule?
The rule for the game is quite easy,we know close friends share most
of their time.You need to find two words who "shares most of their time".
For word A and B:
If B is always present when A present,and A is always present when B
present,they are the best friends in the world,so the relation should be
100%!!
If B is always absent when A present,and A is always absent when A
present,they don't know each other at all,so the relation between them
should be 0!!
What you should do is to find the best friends in whe world!!
2. How do you know the relationship between two friends?
We do it with google!! For word A and B,first we search "A AND B" to
find the times A and B share,then we search "A OR B" to find the overall
times they appear. Then we use division to get the relation.
3.That's funny.I know the best friends in the world!!
Really? Prove you are right.

Live Messenger deletes received files
Hi,
I received the automatic update of Live Messenger 8.1 (Build 8.1.0178.00).
Now when I transfer certain files (.mp3, .mdb, .exe) and I try to open them
via the messenger window, it says that the file could be harmfull to my
computer and that it has been blocked. I should open the properties of the
file and unblock it, but the file is nowhere to be found, it has been deleted
from my system.
I can understand that users should be protected against harmful files, but I
know these files are safe.
Live Messenger deletes files from my computer without my permission. I don't
even have an option to turn this off and have never been asked if I wanted
this option. I found some registry entries on the internet to fix this
"problem", but I hope Microsoft wil respond to this in the form of an update
in which we can atleast select if we want this "feature".
I hope to hear from you soon,
Kind regards,

Multiple email addresses - One Live profile??
There is something that has plagued me for some time. With Outlook, there is
the ability for people to see directly in the message if I am online or not.
But this is based purely off the email address of the email message.
Therefore, I need to have a a messenger account that is linked with my
business email.
Then, since I also write personal email, I also need to have a messenger
account linked with my personal email address.
What I would really like is to have a single Live account. I would then be
able to 'link' my personal email address, my business email address, and any
other addresses that I feel like to this single Live account. I would then
be able to leverage the benefits of Live completely with a single instance
of Favorites, a single Space, and everything else.
Currently, I run multiple instances of Messenger so that each email address
can appear online.
Does anyone know if Live can support what I am trying to accomplish? Or is
there some other method of setting up all of this to give me the
functionality of what I am looking for? Tag: slm Tag: 89145

Just wondering if someone can help me.

stay like one picture.
Is there someone who made an animated picture for msn before, and what
kind of program did you use? Are there any requirements on the pic's for
using them with msn? Any problems you discovered and solved?

MSN messages "fowarded" to Yahoo! Messenger
Here's the situation, it happened only once but with someone with two
accounts talking to me.
I was chatting on MSN with that person, and as it happens sometimes,
although we both appeared to be on I was received her messages as
offline messages (which is pretty irritating when that happens because
even when you focus on the window it keeps blinking until you reduce
it and bring it back up), and there's some messages from both of her
accounts that she sent me, but I never received them on MSN , and I
received them more than a day later, on Yahoo.
I forgot to say that although this person doesn't use Yahoo! Messenger
and that both her accounts are @hotmail.com, my MSN account is
@yahoo.fr and I use Yahoo! Messenger with the same email account. So
anyways I received these messages as offline messages one day later on
my Yahoo account on Trillian (note that I use Trillian only for Yahoo!
and that I use Windows Live Messenger 8.0 for MSN, so there was no
possible confusion) with her full hotmail email addresses as Yahoo
account names, and of course my Yahoo account appeared to be what it
normally is, which is the first part of my email address.
So, how on earth can (offline) MSN messages not be received by their
recipients and rather be received one day later (as I was on Yahoo!
all the while) on Yahoo! Messenger on an account sharing a common
email address with the original recipient? Tag: slm Tag: 89131

Shared Folder Synchronisation Folder
Hi
I am very new to Shared Folders operations and need some advice.
My friend posted 2 pictures in a newly created Shared Folder between
us on 25 January and they are there.
Since then I have posted several images to what appears to the same
folder, but she cannot see them.
Last night she posted another one, and I cannot see that one.
I can still my own.
The folder window indicates that 'Synchronisation' last took place on
25 January - the date she opened/created the folder.
Two questions:
1. How often should I expect synchronisation to take place.
2. Can I 'force' a synchronisation to take place?

MSN Live Messenger Video Call Audio Problem
I've been trying to use the Video Call function on MSN Messenger for
the past couple of days. The problem is that while my family on the
other side can hear me just find, I can't hear any audio from them.
The picture quality is great. I eventually figured out that it was
becaues the speaker volume setting was at the lowest bar (this is the
icon that is next to their video picture window) but I can't click on
it or change it's setting, even if I do a right-click or ctrl-click.

Messenger Causes BSOD
Hi, there, Gurus,
Got myself a little problem.
Since downloading and installing the very latest Windows Live Messenger
every time I sign in, it gives me about 2 minutes before crashing into the
BSOD. In fact, if I don't exit the program from the System Tray as soon as it
appears (it does not automatically sign in) I only get about 5 minutes before
crashing.
The salient points of the BSOD are that it's a "Bad Pool Caller", whatever
that means, and the Technical information is: "*** STOP: 0x000000c2
(0x00000007, 0x00000cd4, 0x00000000, 0xff25ced4).
Any ideas?

To Change Spanish Headings
When I signed into Messenger, the "Contacts" and all of my groups now have
headings that are in Spanish. (Exasmple: "Amigos" replaced "Friends",
"Familiares" replaced "Family", and so forth). I use the program
infrequently, but I do know that the last time I used it, it was in English.
I have looked in the "Options>Preferences" tab to no avail. I am running v
4.7.
If I uninstall, then reinstall, will I lose all of my preference and contact
information that is stored locally on my hard drive?
I am very computer literate, so you can get as technical as you want...
