Windows Live Messenger (MSN 8.0) Goes Final

windowslive.jpgMove over MSN Messenger, the successor Windows Live Messenger has finally arrived. Having been in beta stages for quite a while now, the full public release is now available to download.

  • Call their phones. Call their PCs.
    Call your friends’ mobile or landline phones. It’s great value within the UK or internationally. And calling someones PC is always free.
  • See them on the screen
    Show and tell: get a webcam and start a video conversation within minutes.
  • Share stuff
    Set up a Sharing Folder with a friend. Drop in photos and other stuff, as much as your computer can handle. See it even when one of you is offline.
  • A network of millions
    Tap into the world’s largest IM network, with hundreds of millions of users worldwide.
  • Soon: talk to your Yahoo! friends, too
    Soon you’ll be able to use Windows Live Messenger to talk to your friends who use Yahoo! Messenger with Voice. The world’s largest IM network is getting even bigger.

To be honest, very little has visibly changed and the drastic overhaul I was hoping for never really materialized. Thankfully I have Skype for voice chat, so Windows Live just fills my text messaging requirements.

  • My lovely laptop is all Vista-fied, but no matter what I do, and believe me, I’ve spent hours trawling the forums looking for a solution, NOTHING works when trying to sign into ANY form of msn messenger, and for that matter, Yahoo messenger. I have the patch for Acer laptops to stop the DEP error, but it won’t let me sign in, instead telling me there’s a problem. I’m not all knowing when it comes to computers, so short of throwing the laptop across the room, what can I do???

    i got my acer laptop with windows vista on it for my birthday may 15th..got internet set up the next day..installed windows live messenger..and it won’t work because of something called deps. its something about data protection security. so to make it work take it to a computer shop and they should be able to sort out what deps lets you go on and what it doesn’t.
    i havent got mine sorted out yet. but if anyone has any other solutions..:d/ :-?

    i noticed this bug started at the same time as the live messenger started to bug.

    Bubba, did you make sure that your mic is on for both you and the person you’re looking at? Look under your audio settings to make sure it’s turned on and have the person check for a red circle with a line through it on the icon above the volume bar.

    I’ve had Windows Live Messenger 8.0 plus for like a year now, and I just bought a new Philips webcam, first time having one, Ever since I installed it in my comuter, my Windows Live Messenger won’t stay signed in for more than a few seconds or a few minutes, and comes up with an error and no choice but to shut it down. I don’t even have any chat logs on the conversation I just had before it shut down. Please help!

  • [Comment ID #60371 Will Be Quoted Here]

    Best bet would be to check for any updated drivers for the webcam. If this doesn’t work, try a different USB port.

    If problems still persist, you’ll have to unplug the webcam until your find a fix and contact the manufacturer. Un-install the webcam drivers as well and then maybe MSN will work again for the time being.

  • Does that patch ONLY work for acer. I have a vaio laptop from sony and my msn also won’t work. one of them just won’t install. I got another version to install but when i try to sign in, it won’t let me – something about i need to sign in as a local administrator (whatever that means). I got the oldest version of msn and it let me sign. However, after only a couple minutes of chatting, the window starts shacking and it says not responding. I NEED ANSWERS!!! I’LL DIE IF I CAN’T KEEP IN TOUCH WITH MY FRIENDS! I AM AN MSN ADDICT!!

    Again, does that patch only work for acer?

  • I feel sorry for all you people. I used to think MSN was the best IM client on Windows but now I am so glad I am now on a Mac using Adium X. Sure I don’t get Custom Winks and stuff but that is a small sacrifice, at least it opens.

    I am having the same problem on both my Windows XP machines as well, so it is not just isolated to Vista, it is a problem with Live Messenger. When I do finally get it open they randomly sign in and out. I have noticed more and more of my Windows friends complaining about MSN with sign in problems, resetting and a few of my friends sometimes randomly sign in send me a random link or attachment which probably contains a virus and then sign off. And these are trustworthy friends lol. Not to mention other annoyances such as some people having way too many custom winks. Hopefully Microsoft fix it soon. Back when I was using Windows I was using Trillian. Back when I was using it had a nice clean interface and worked well. Apart from that I don’t have any other suggestions aside from changing to Mac or Linux, but that is a bit extreme just because Windows Live sucks on Windows, how ironic that two significant Microsoft products don’t work well together. Further adding to fuel to the fire as why more and more people are switching.

    Try restarting your router.
    Or try pushing the reset bitton on your router for 30 seconds.
    Or simply turn off your router for 1 minute.

  • I am using the latest windows live messenger on a sony vaio laptop. I have downloaded msn many times, and each time msn randomly signs out with no warning. This happens around once every 5 minutes or so. But also, none of my contacts are showing as online. And I know they are, for example, 50 people are online, but only 2 show up. I have tried re-installing msn, and downloading various patches and nothing helps.
