    - Win. Live 8.5 and old MSN Messenger Greetings all, I installed Windows Live 8.5. All went fine and it seems working fine. At the same time old MSN Messenger folder still present and you can run the old one too??? How can I get rid of it? I tried suggested: - removing from Components shows some activities and after finishing old folder remains intact; - this command RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove gives me "Access Denied" despite I am running as Administrator ??? - running msicuu.exe doesn't show MSN Messenger at all Is there any way to remove the old one from the system? Can I just delete folder and do registry cleanup? Thanks in advance Tag: Messenger age verification Tag: 92579

    - Windows Live Messenger will not install (using Vista) I am trying to install Windows Live Messenger in Windows Vista. I go straight to the download link from this page: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=D78F2FF1-79EA-4066-8BA0-DDBED94864FC&displaylang=en It is version 8.1.0178. I can get the Windows Live Messenger Setup Wizard open without a problem. I accept the terms, click next, and make my way to the screen that says "Installing Windows Live Messenger, Please wait while this wizard installs Windows Live Messenger. This may take a few minutes." There's a progress bar. But it's not moving at all! I'll wait about 30 minutes, and the progress is still at 0%. I've tried clearing out my Internet Explorer temporary files and increasing the disk space use for temporary internet files (it's at 100 MB). I also turned off the firewall. Why does the installation just freeze like that? Also, when I try to cancel it, the window does not close... Tag: Messenger age verification Tag: 92573

    - Best way to install newest WLM on dialup? It looks like the WLM installer is somekind of online Windows Live download. Before, I download the old installer, uninstalled MSN Messenger 7, and then installed WLM offline. What's the best way to do it now? Also, I remember many things to pick from that I don't think I need on dialup using the MSN Explorer software. (Like the toolbar, etc) When parts are absolutely necessary for WLM to function properly? And to let MSN Explorer and connection center continue to fuction properly? -- Regards, Paul B. aka "OldRebel" Tag: Messenger age verification Tag: 92560

    - Virus or Trojan I accidentlly clicked on a link from a friend in my IM. Now my IM is sending out links all the time, even though I have uninstalled IM, ran my virus scan and spyware, then re-installed. I have only signed in once, but people continue to receive messages from me (different each time). It appears to pull part of my IM email and other words to it, making it look like a personal webpage. I have screen shots. Thank you. Tag: Messenger age verification Tag: 92554

    - Mobile alerts keeps turning itself on Hello, I currently have a cell phone with msn mobile. I have gone into my email account, and turned off the mobile alerts function, but whenever I log in to msn on my phone it turns them on again and I'm getting junk mail alerts on my phone all hours of the day and night even if I'm logged out. Is there a way to set the alerts to off no matter what? I'm tired of logging in after I'm on my phone every time just to stop the alerts. If there isn't a way, is there anyone that you can actually get in touch with around here who would be able to provide me a solid answer for this? It just seems like I keep getting kicked around to message boards or faq instead of any contact us route. Tag: Messenger age verification Tag: 92553

    - Bug: Message history is lost Please not that this post is related to, but *not* the same as, "Bug: Message History not saved until IM window closed." (http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?mid=16c8ad0c-7fe1-4b4e-ac9f-d4e8210a6c68&dg=microsoft.public.msn.messenger) In cases where my computer does not hang and no application is crashed, I sometimes lose MSN messenger message history data (the data is not saved). Examples: -Shutting down my PC while MSN Messenger is running may cause history data not to be saved. I did not end task or force quit messenger -MSN Messenger fails to save multiple concurrent conversations with the same person. For example, if I am in a conversation with A, B, and C, and I start another conversation with A, the second conversation with A will not appear in the message history. These are just examples that I have noticed in passing; I leave it to microsoft to detemine specific test cases. I use MSN Messenger to communicate with co-workers for assignments. It's not critical that the conversations be recorded, but it is a significant inconvenience when the history feature fails to preserve a particular conversation, for whatever reason, that I wanted to view. Steve's bugfix reported in the other thread that I mentioned above, if solved, could help alleviate some of these issues. I put in a vote for that issue, also.

    - msn link virus? hello yesterday i received a link from a contact, she didn't send it to me. It was automatically sent. I thought it was a photo. It was a link and took me to a page. I made the mistake to put my email and password there. It seemed like microsoft. It said something like microsoft photo space or something like that. And when i entered the mail and password (the ones i sign in msn with) then immediately msn was signed out and said that I have logged in from another computer and if i want to log in again from this to click here. I did this twice beacause i was curious if the site causes it. Does anybody know anything about it? I searched the history of my explorer but i couldn't find the page, it had a short but strange url. Something like my contact's name. That was the way it was sent to me. And then i think it changed when i clicked it and went to the explorer. Tag: Messenger age verification Tag: 92519

    - Contacts suddenly being ungrouped This is the second time that I have meeting with this problem. The solution given to me by the Microsoft Live Messenger support staff is totally the same as the old solution given to me last year when I met with this problem too. My problem: I am using Live Messenger 2008 with my Win Vista Business some day when all of a sudden, my contacts, that were all grouped into various contact groups, just got ungrouped into the "Other Contacts". The same problem was met last year, and the explanation given to me last year was that I upgraded my Live Messenger version and caused a sync issue with the server. The solution given to me last year was to do a manual regrouping of all the 400+ contacts into the 20 groups that I have. The support staff said last year that there is nothing that can be done on the server side because the sync issue actually is irreversible. Thats why last year, I did a manual regroup of all the contacts which was a very tiring job to do. This time round, the support staff couldn't provide me with an explanation on why this problem occurred. The solution that they could provide to me was the old one that they provided me last year too. After which, I emailed them, with the solution email that I have gotten last year, asking them why the same problem occurred twice. This year, the solution email also came with a backup plan, that is, for me to export my contacts and safe-keep it in case such incidents happen again. I did propose to them this solution last year when I met with this problem, because I had another messenger account with the same contacts and the same groupings. But however, last year, the support staff told me that even if I export the contacts and import it back into the account, it will still be ungrouped, and I would still have to do a manual regrouping of all the contacts. Because of this, I emailed the support staff to ask why the export and import method was not possible last time, and that it is now possible? The support staff just replied me, saying that the information I provided to them about my last year's incident was in 2007 and based on the older version of the messenger, thus the 2 solutions for the problem doesn't overlap and is mutually exclusive. I am quite fed-up with the support staff, taking 9 (NINE) long days before replying my emails. and furthurmore, because I quoted support staff names in my emails to them, the replies were all NAME-LESS, which I supposed that the support staff do not want to take up furthur responsibility about this matter in future. I called up Microsoft Singapore, but the technical department told me that they are quite tied up too. Thus, the only way was for me to email the support side for solutions. But I told them that the support staff are slow and not giving me productive solutions, and the technical officer told me to try posting in MS NewsGroups for solutions. Please provide me with solutions that can help solve my problems via the server side and not for me to do manual groupings again. And please also provide me with solutions to prevent this problem from occurring again. My Case ID with Microsoft support: SRX1067899749ID (this year's), SRX1037860176ID (last year's). Thanks and with regards THNG. Tag: Messenger age verification Tag: 92494

    - How much bandwidth does MSN messenger use when idle? Hi How much bandwidth does MSN messenger use when sitting idle (i.e. loaded but minimised and unused). The reason is because we have banned Skype for using up too much, and are looking for an alternative. We have 28 users who's skypes were using 35 gig's of traffic per month, just by leaving it sat minimised at the bottom. Skype's FAQ says that sitting idle it should take no more than .5 Kb/s, but our bandwidth monitoring showed it was much higher when multiple Skypes were running, almost as tho each individual skype was saying "Hi I'm here... and so is my friend... and so is my other friend... and so is my other friend...<repeat for all 28 users>". So at the moment IM is banned until we can find a more bandwidth friendly method of text messaging someone (voice messaging is banned period). Anyone know the bandwidth requirements?

SP3 wouldn't boot and nor would safe mode so I had to "repair" my installation by reinstalling my original SP1 installation disk and installing SP2 over the top of it. Sadly my system is nowhere near the state it was in before. Since SP3 caused this problem and SP3 intransigence in not allowing me to remove it in the usual way has caused a lot of problems that would take me 20 mins to list here ... I would like to know where to go in the Microsoft hierarchy to get some help getting my system back to scratch. A brief list RPC server not working.

    - AVG 8.0 corrupted my MSN Messenger 7.0 I downloaded & installed AVG 8.0 Antivirus over AVG 7.5 as recommended. Since installing AVG 8.0 I noticed that I cannot sign into my 7.0 version of MSN Messenger. All my contacts are gone, and a lot of the components have lost there ability to make any changes in them. Has anyone else had this problem. Another problem I am experiencing with the new AVG antivirus is that I cannot proceed to a website by clicking on the a website link that comes into my MSN e-mail. I am very disapointed with AVG 8.0. to say the least. I violated my own rule to never download a newer product when the old one is working fine. If I receive an answer to this question within my e-mail from you folks I should be able to click that link and come back into this website like I used to, but now I am unble to do that also. Stay away from the new AVG 8.0. Thanks for any help anyone can give me. The above two things I have noticed so far ... there may be other things I haven't come across yet. -- Wayne Tag: Messenger age verification Tag: 92433

My son can no longer sign into live messenger. It asks me to sign in as an
adult and then give my credit card as proof that i am an adult. Is this
normal?

Yes. As long as his profile lists him as a minor, this is normal.
