    - MS Live Messenger and Outlook Express How can I get the old Messenger off my computer and only have Live Messenger? Before, I installed Live Messenger and it was a conflict with Outlook Express. My Outlook Express would get a message like not connected. Outlook Express will not work right without the old Messenger. Thank you, David Tag: msn 8.5 on vista 32bit not logging in- no error message Tag: 92333

    - FIOS router? I had a netgear router running from a cable modem, and was able to do good quality video chatting with people using messenger. Which version? I don't know. Was it MSN messenger, Windows messenger, Windows Live messenger? I don't know and I don't even know if it makes a difference. I know that I've been able to do video chats using version 8.1 of something, which I think I was forced to change to from version 7.5 of something, which had also worked. Recently I changed to FIOS. Because of where the fiber comes into the home, they run a coax right up to their Actiontec MI424 (something like that) router. I discover that I can't SUCCESSFULLY initiate or respond to requests for a video chat with people out on the internet. As soon as I either accept the call or the remote person accepts my invitation, the call ends. We did have one strange fairly successful video only, no sound connection cross country, but neither of us could think of what me might have been doing that achieved this partial success. That one came with no sliders for microphone volume, no mute button, and no full screen capability for the received picture. I speculate that there's a setting in the FIOS router that is preventing success. I've got UP&P enabled (had to do that to make my slingbox push video out. When I look at port forwarding in the router I can see that about three entries for things like messenger are there. When I look at the "security log", I see entries that say things like: First packet in connection is not a SYN packet: TCP 192.168.1.1:2555->192.168.1.2:2706 on br0 Now I have no idea what br0 is, I don't know who is failing to send a SYN packet, and I suspect the red Outbound Traffic And Blocked -NAT OUT Failed is at issue. Any suggestions? Thank you. Tag: msn 8.5 on vista 32bit not logging in- no error message Tag: 92332

    - Windows Live Installer is poorly designed... like msn! Need help! A brief rant... I'm TIRED of uninstalling a program and reinstalling it only to find it left 99% of it's crap in the registry. When I UNinstall something I want it GONE... 100%. I need a tool to remove every trace of Windows Live ANYTHING! One day Msn Live works, next day, error signing in. Never worked again. It works on my other computers but my laptop - I give up! I just spent 4 hours ripping reg keys out of windows, deleteing every trace off the hard drive of any Live crap. And all this, after days of uninstalling, rebooting, and reinstalling with no luck. Now, the stupid Msn Live Installer just says Installed for all 3 items. It didnt even check that the folders are there or not. So tired of products imbedding themselves into the operating system. MS can't even write a decent chat program. I'm a programmer (advanced asm down to basic), I write quality software. This kind of crap would never happen in my software. The msn tests (when it was installed but not working) would say - oh joy - you're connected to the internet, the service is up, this is working, that is working, nice green checkboxes everywhere, time syncronized, date correct, everything checked and double checked. Wheres the tool to install this crappy chat program bypassing the very poorly designed Windows Live Installer. I'm sick of this kind of crap programming. It's a damn chat program. It's not rocket science and you guys can't even write a good quality hastle free chat program. And we're supposed to be assured you can write an OS? I'm so SICK of problems like this everywhere I go. Sure it pays my bills (Windows sucking means money for me) but I'm tired of registry junk and hundreds of keys). Why do you need so many damn keys? Why so many registry entries. Its sickening to see something like a chat program take more than 5 seconds to install on a fast computer. LEARN TO PROGRAM! OMG - you guys have SO many flaws in so many products. QUality testing? Where? I'm SO mad at Microsoft right now. I wanna tell my thousands of customers to just go buy Macs I'm SO sick of it all. They are sick of it all too. Thousands and thousands of service calls to repair a swiss cheese operating system. Hey, pays my bills but I'm so fed up with lousy installers and even worse uninstaller. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME A TOOL TO RIP MSN EVERYTHING OFF MY COMPUTER? ARGH! So mad.... just so mad at the time wasted. Wish Commodore was still around... that was quality... C64 (lol). Where we would be today if Commodore had better management in the end..... so sad we're stuck with a company (for now) that can't even program a chat program or an installer. Doubt I'll get any real help here but I'm extending a branch in the offchance someone at Microsoft even reads these and knows the internals of this software and how to fix this problem. And no... I dont feel like reinstalling my entire laptop just to fix Msn. I'll go without and a different chat program before I do that. Its a new laptop, virus free, freshly installed 2 months ago, kept clean of any junk, runs 100% stable. Tag: msn 8.5 on vista 32bit not logging in- no error message Tag: 92330

    - Windows live messenger keeps installing everytime I reboot I am using version 8.5 and it is working fine. However, often when I reboot the computer everything comes to a halt and a windows installer box opens up saying it is installing windows live messenger. This is really annoying. I have it set to start with windows, but not automatically sign me in. Sometimes , just clicking on the program to open it causes the installation thing to start again. Thanks for any help you can give me JoyceR Tag: msn 8.5 on vista 32bit not logging in- no error message Tag: 92325

    - WM6 Windows Live Messenger Problems Since I got a new device and started using WM6 and Windows Live Messenger I have been plagued with problems when using MSN Messenger on the device. When I log in to Windows Live Messenger it shows me as being online, but fails to retrieve my list of contacts and fails to Sync. Anyone know whats going on with this? I never had these sort of problems using MSN Messenger on WM2003SE. Is it time to dump the internal support for MSN and buy another program to do the job instead of the built in messenger program?

    - What the F is MSN doing!?! So I'm sitting here looking at Task Manager..... I notice MSN Live (current version) is using 50% of my dual-core CPU. Wow. I notice it's using 90 megs of memory, and rising about 1 meg a second. Within a min its up to 128megs.... So start I this post... As I sit here, its using 166megs of memory (its gone up 86megs in 2 min!!!!) .....184megs after 3min ......221megs after 4 min .........I guess my computer will be crashing soon, so I should save this message now while I still can There is ABSOLUTELY no justification for this cpu & memory usage. WTF!?!?!?!?!? If anyone could explain to me what this piece of sh*t is doing I'd appreciate it. ps - 262 megs and rising Tag: msn 8.5 on vista 32bit not logging in- no error message Tag: 92285

    - Should I upgrade from 8.1 to 8.5? When I went to 8.1 it didn't work that well and has lots of annoying little quirks and little tricks you have to use to make it work, but since I didn't use it that much it wasn't worth going back to 7.x. (For example, when I send a message to someone it will sign me out, and then I have to sign back in, switch my status to online again, and resend the message. From there it works OK until I want to send a message to a different person, and then the same thing happens...) Is 8.5 a better product or does it have *more* problems than 8.1? I'd like to know the experience of those who had 8.1 and upgraded. Thanks. -Tony Tag: msn 8.5 on vista 32bit not logging in- no error message Tag: 92275

    - Someone signed me onto a different computer Hello, I would first like to point out that I'm very freaked out by this. I'm pretty much always signed in on MSN, but tonight, right after I was done making dinner and was just about to tell someone I had returned, I was signed off and MSN said I was logged on to a different computer. This immediately made me change my password to a ridiculously difficult one, but I want to know if there's anything else I can do. Could this be some kind of server error or did someone seriously hack my account? There are no other computers that I have ever logged on to, so there is no other computer on which I entered my login information. Only my Xbox 360 had my info, but I changed that a few weeks ago and it's turned off right now. Please, anyone, what do I do with this? I've had this email for years and I really need to know how to protect it. Thanks in advance for any help. Tag: msn 8.5 on vista 32bit not logging in- no error message Tag: 92256

    - TCP sometimes selected, making for choppy video conversation Hiya, 17Mbit/1Mbit ADSL this end, 576kbit/288kbit ADSL their end, each behind (as Messenger/Tools/Options/Connection confirms) UPnP port- restricted NAT router with a single public IP, running Live Messenger 8.5 under XP SP2. On this end I'm now using Linux+iptables for router/ firewall with linux-igd for UPnP, though it was a Speedtouch 585v6 before that, with similar behaviour. Some of the time, tcpdump confirms the two machines end up using a TCP video/audio stream for video conversations - these are peer-to-peer rather than via some relay server. These connections are fairly jerky, with sound repeating itself every so often while the picture stalls. Other times, UDP peer-to-peer is used - these conversations are smooth and pleasant. Could anyone tell me what causes one or the other to be negotiated, and whether who initiates the call should make a difference? Any way of strongly hinting the negotiation toward UDP?

    - gosh this is stupid... I haven't had time to play around with my messenger profile for about 3 years, but I was trying to update my profile this evening. I suppose they have changed and added a lot behind my back, but I think the interface has become real chaotic. Also, it seems that I'm still 51 years old (wish that were true). Is it really that stupid not to add one year each year??? So I tried to correct this, but this ALSO doesn't seem to work. When I try to edit my birth date I can enter a day, a month, but when I try to enter the year it says 2008. And NO other options in the dropdown list!

    - Ping: Jonathan Kay Hi Jonathan, When i purchased my computer it had Windows Messenger 4.7 and getting Verizon with MSN premium got a second Messenger. Now not ever using Windows Messenger 4.7 A while back i went from MSN Messenger 7.5 to Windows Live Messenger 8.1 so when i look in all programs i have two - Windows Live 8.1 and Windows Messenger 4.7 programs. BUT in add/remove there is MSN Messenger 7.5 and Windows Live Messenger 8.1 with Windows Messenger 4.7 not listed at all. Does version 7.5 need to stay in add/remove being a part of Live 8.1 or can it be removed? Also with Windows Messenger 4.7 NOT being in add/remove and never being used do i need to keep it or is it removable, and how would it be removed? So if it's possible i would like to only end up with WLM 8.1. Thanks, Ron Tag: msn 8.5 on vista 32bit not logging in- no error message Tag: 92192

So the new version doesn't install. Also I tried to remove MSN Messenger 7.5 from Add or Remove Programs but when I try to remove MSN it says "the patch package does not exist. Verify the patch package exists and then try again" Can you help me. I need to install the new version because I can't log on to MEssenger until I install the new one.

    - Can three people use webcams at the same time on MSN messenger? My two sons and myself all live in different locations. We have all bought webcams but we can't figure out how we can all see and hear each other at the same time. Is this possible to do?

    - Very BZARRE Problem With Windows Live Messenger 8.5 Hello there, I recently had a really, REALLY strange thing happen to me with Windows Live Messenger 8.5. I've been spending hours upon end trying to solve it and have still not come up with anything. Here's the story: I've been using Windows Live Messenger 8.5 for probably about 3 months now with no errors whatsoever. A few days ago, I signed out and went to bed. I woke up the next day, double-clicked to open up Windows Live Messenger 8.5 and nothing happened. I checked the computer's processes, and it said that the messenger process was running, but I could not use it. Naturally, I decided to uninstall it and re-install it. After re-installing the messenger, I tried to open it up and yet again, the process started but nothing happened. At this point I figured something must have gone wrong and corrupted in the registry. So I uninstalled it again, cleared out any files (visible and hidden) that had to do with Windows Live Messneger, and then opened up my Registry Crawler. From there, I deleted any entry that was related to Windows Live Messenger. I repeated this multiple times, as well as the fact that I used CCleaner to fix any registry issues afterwards. I then restarted the computer, and proceeded to install Windows Live Messenger 8.5 again. Here's the weird part. Every time I booted up the installer, it told me that I already had it installed and I was good to go. Huh? I did a registry search and not one key was connected to Windows Live Messenger, yet the installer told me I was ready to start chatting. So I restarted again, and then ran a Disk Cleanup and Defragmented my hard drive. I then restarted again once the processes were finished, and tried to install the messenger once more. Same problem. For some reason the computer was telling the installer that everything is installed and working. I even tried to install older versions of Messenger (8.1, 7.5 and 7.0) however each installer said that I already have the latest version installed, and that if I wish to continue I should go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall it...but it isn't there...because it isn't on my computer anywhere. I truly do not understand is going on here. How is it possible that the installers think that I have Windows Live Messenger 8.5 perfectly installed when there is no trace of it at all on the computer (not in the registry nor any visible or hidden folders)? I came here to the Microsoft newsgroups, because hopefully you can help me out here, as you obviously know more about this stuff than me. Thanks for your time, spider-fan P.S. I'm not sure if System Restore is an option at this moment, because there is a chance that this fiasco may have started after my earliest restore point.
