• Now that Hotmail is part of Microsoft Outlook and Outlook is with Skype, it's ok to uninstall Windows Live Messenger?

  Each time, starting with Windows Live Messenger 'opens' but is more to accept my login information because Hotmail joined Outlook and Outlook is connected with Skype... so Windows Live Messenger seems to be a redundant nuisance (and Microsoft to my knowledge has not offered advice on this when they said Hotmail users we would be part of Outlook... etc)... so it seems reasonable to simply uninstall... but is it?

  Hello Brygge,

  If you run both Windows Messenger and Skype you should have a notification to upgrade your copy of Windows Messenger to the latest version of Skype. I know that I have received an and after upgrade Windows Messenger disappeared.

  If you don't have the notification, then you should be able to remove messenger through Control Panel > programs and features. In programs and features, look for Windows Essentials 2012. You will find the option to remove Messenger once you clicked Windows Essential 2012 and started the removal process. If you want other applications of Windows Essentials 2012 such as Movie Maker, etc. leave these options checked. Just remove the Windows Messenger tick mark and then proceed with the uninstall.

• Windows live messenger stops working after a while

  Whenever I connect Windows live I get a message that this communication platform on-line Windows has stopped working and windows will close the program and I am started mid convo quickly. I do not know why this happens, I just reformat my computer and had to reinstall windows and have this problem since. I even tried to uninstall and reinstall new but no luck. Help, please!

  Hello AshNight,

  You should post in the Windows Live help as Mick has suggested. They will come back with help.

  However, in the meantime, you can do a repair on your own.
  Have you installed programs before this problem started? This may include antivirus, e-mail programs, etc.
  I've seen some posts where some products Antivirus and cause of conflict. So as a troubleshooting step, remove your antivirus (not just disable) and see if there is a conflict with your AntiVirus and Windows Live messenger. (Do not forget and don't go out when you do not have an antivirus installed on intenet).

  If that doesn't help, then do a clean boot and see if there is a conflict. You disable all startup items and services of third parties at boot. This method will help us determine if this issue is caused by a loader program or service.

• Qosmo G40 - built Chicony Webcam incompatible with windows live messenger

  I can't have the built-in webcam to work on my brand new G40 - 108 with Windows Live Messenger. I get the following message appears when you try to set up "audio and video setting" the Herald: "Windows cannot connect to this webcam. Close any program that may be using this webcam and restart the wizard."

  He connected with technical support from Toshiba, which were also unable to solve the problem. We have tried to disable both webcam at startup apps. If both executed at startup, the chicony software does not work.

  Does anyone else have this problem? I'll update this post if I get a resolution on their part.

  Thank you!

  Yes I have a solution.
  Remove the old software and the driver for the system.
  Go to the Toshiba European page and download the latest software for a chicony and the driver.
  Then install on the laptop and enjoy.

  Notes; Restart the laptop everytime after reinstalling the driver.
