I posted a tutorial on how to use the old messenger but it wasn't approved.... or no one has looked at it yet

Just be a little patient - the mods must be busy - and the concept sounds interesting although I'm not a real fan of any version of MSN - prefer to use pidgin for all accounts

doesnWindows Live Messenger 2009

I deleted a contact by mistake once and got that same error. EvenThough they could see me fine, I could never see them on the list orOnline. I had to get them to re-add me as a contact to resolve theIssue.  I initially tried to delete a double entry of them on my list.They were in two groups for some reason and I deleted him from one andIt removed him completely. The new messenger is a memory hog too. I amMaxed on RAM, 3 gig processor with a new motherboard, (don't ask techDetails..I couldn't tell you)  in XP Pro and it still lags. Also, ItHas the slowest virus scanner known to man when files are transferredThat I can't seem to disable. HORRIBLE

Deleting MessengerWindows Live Messenger 2009

I have just set up a new computer which has Windows 7. Each time the computer  starts up I get a pop up window for Windows Messenger. I do NOT want messenger on this particular computer and the pop up is a real nuisance!!  How do I stop this pop up or delete whatever is causing it???

tying it together with your email is easy. Using windows live mail, you automatically add contacts from all email accts, and invite them to messenger. I've gotten none of the errors mentioned in other posts, it updated easy. I just uninstalled the old 1 and then installed the new 1. I love it. Trying to talk all my contacts into trying it. Vid calls and voice calls works flawelessly.

Yeah Iwas excited too about the new layout and organization of WLM and gotten use to it, even though they copied most of the ideas from yahoo messenger . Either way, this is by far the best version even if it does keep logging me off from time to time and to me that is very annoying

Well there is know simple way to disable the photo sharing application, however, there is a way to cut it off for good and that you need a hex editor for this to work.



Odds are Microsoft will frown on this but so far it seems to be the only working solution to this problem.

Hello,

strategy for errors of type "x.dll is missing":

1. put the name of x.dll as it's shown in the error message into google search
2. you'll probably find x.dll, probably among the dlls at http://dllcentral.co....1005/download/
3. Download the according *.zip, unpack it, copy the contained dll into the same directory where the *.exe file of the program which was looking for this dll is located (the installation folder). You'll probably need admin rights for this. The program should look in its installation folder for needed dlls and find it then.
