Changes to Windows Live Messenger

Who may be affected,

I recently installed the beta version of Windows Live Messenger and my extreme disappointment, the use of the webcam is no longer available. Why is this?

I do not understand why you deleted this option in the program. I had several throughout my time hotmail accounts and have been used so the existence of applications that I use it almost daily as well as various other messenger users, I know.

Due to this change when I install the new version, I assumed that if I reinstalled the version, I had before I would get this back action... However, this was not the case and I was very aggravated that I wasted time doing this for no reason.

From what I can see of your last program 'development', Microsoft are trying too hard to make their own version of Skype... that many people use less often because she is of the video capabilities of Windows Live Messenger. Will tell you that companies regularly use video calls as a form of communication, but from what I see, your video call feature is far from being desirable and was not always reliable. Apart from that, in all honesty, your beta version is much more user-friendly and visually appealing. However, it would be obviously more attractive if she had the choice of video calls and webcam, as he always did.

I really hope you like what I said, as I'm sure many of your other customers are asking, and you did a little upset by the big change to the program. I look forward to hear from you.

    One of your antivirus programs? You should not have two or more on the computer much
    less running. They load the pieces themselves at startup and interfere with each other

  • Satellite P300 - Windows Live Messenger System Crash

    Hello

    I recently bought a Toshiba P300 that works great except for one thing: Windows Live Messenger completely blocks my computer.

    I tried the latest version of 2009, version 8.1, and even the version 7.5 and every time it's the same thing: I correctly install the program, then it starts automatically, I write my email and password, it connects to my account, I see my friends online and a few seconds later my computer freezes. It is said that the program is not responding and I can't even do CTRL + ALT + DEL, at all, nothing happens. My mouse changes when I'm on the side of the window (the double arrow appears as when you want to resize the window), but nothing happens and I have to press the power switch to turn off the computer and restart.

    I had no problem with the version of MSN Messenger or Windows Live Mail online, so I don't really know what can be the problem. Once I managed to speak to someone for about 2 minutes before the problem occurred (which happened the same day where that I bought the computer, since nothing).

    It is a strange problem that I know, but if anyone can help, I would be happy!

    See you soon

    Hello!

    I agree with you it s a strange problem and I've never heard of this.

    You use the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows? If you have your own version of Windows should reinstall using the Toshiba recovery disc. Also, if you are running the factory settings, you should try to reinstall Windows. Maybe it's a problem with a corrupted system file

    Have you noticed any problems with other programs or is that Windows Live Messenger?

    Sorry, but at the moment I can t tell more.

    Good bye

  • How can I change my Windows Live ID email address that was previously my alternative email address

    I'm changing my Windows Live ID to my own email address.

    When I tried this, I received the message "you can not use your email address as login Windows Live ID. Please enter a different Windows Live ID".
    OK, that makes sense: the address I tried to implement was already used for both the reset and as an e-mail email password (account > your e-mail addresses)
    So, I removed the e-mail address of both of those places (and confirmed the deletion by clicking the link in the notification was sent) and tried to change my Windows Live ID again.
    But I get always the same "you can not use your email address as login Windows Live ID. Please enter a different Windows Live ID" message, even if the address that I am changing is so nowhere associated with my Live account?
    Means that I can't change my ID at any address I've never previously used as an alternate email address?
