  1. So while security hole infested versions like MSN Messenger 5.0 still remain to be usable, very recent versions like 2009 QFE1 are forced to upgrade to QFE2… without ever informing us what changed between these two Messenger versions.

    And what about users on 64 bit Windowx XP? After october they won’t be able to use Windows Live Messenger at all because the QFE2 installer doesn’t allow them to use it (even though there is no reason for it): http://messengergeek.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!E3785B1281BBDA1!3406.entry

    Messenger team, I like your product, but please get your stuff together:
    * Inform us what changed between Messenger builds. It doesn’t have to be a detailed changelog, but at least tell something.
    * Don’t block 64 bit XP users while you have no reason to, you made this mistake multiple times now.
    * Quit claiming blocking versions of less than a year old if for safety while you still allow ancient MSN Messenger versions to sign in.

  2. I have a problem in signing in windows live messenger version 2009 (Build 14.0.8089.726).. The error code is 8007007e..

  6. I’m angry that i am being forced to update, i do not like the look, or the way Windows Live 8.5 + looks, and i am happy staying with WL 8. I would rather not use WL at all then have to upgrade.

    I want to be able to stay with what i have. I WILL NOT be upgrading, and i am VERY disappointed in this.

  9. At work I have to use Windows Server 2003 which is also left out in the cold with the new version, along with 64-bit XP.

    And, even on XP, version 14 doesn’t remain connected when behind a firewall. It will login the first time you use a passport but after you log off it will keep disconnecting as soon as the login is completed. So I can’t even use the new version on my laptop while at work or with the VPN connected.

    A number of other people in my office have switched to Trillian and I’ve been holding off until now since I’ve been able to keep Messenger 8.1 working on Windows Server 2003. Today 8.1 has cut me off completely so looks like it’s time to make the switch. Bye-bye Live Messenger, it was nice knowing you.

  11. I cannot install new version of Windows live Messenger—-Getting problem # OX80004004. I am VERY disappointed because I can no longer use Messenger Live to stay in touch with family and friends.

  12. New live messenger 2009 looks like shit! I hate that fucking anti aliasing and cannot turn that off anywhere! Besides it makes scrolling through my contact list DEAD SLOW! You imbeciles. And dream on me upgrading to 2009! It won’t happen. It would have happened if you didn’t totally fuck up the looks of msn or FORCED that Anti-Aliasing. Later I read more about that “forcing to upgrade” stuff and what turned out – user’s privacy is no more as msn is no longer a stand alone program.

  14. Looks like the WLM has given up on enforcing the version checks. I got fed up with with their WLM 9 continuously disconnecting. Uninstalled, and reinstalled Build 8.5.1302.1018 and now it connects and the version check is not enforced!!

  15. all my friends names and groups are gone, i hate it and i’ll stop using the windows live messenger and turn to another messenger like yahoo, before i was love the hotmail messenger (mine was 8.1.0178.00 i was loved it but now it is not working any more and asking to update and when i did i lost all my contacts) thank U for let most the people leave the msn messenger, good bye.

  16. New Windows DEAD Messenger. Sure I was forced to install it but there is no send button when I want to send my typed message.DUH! What a piece of CRAP!.Good riddance Microsoft and also all of their feedback pages will not connect.Please tell everyone how lousy this New Version is

  17. Before i upgrade to new version 14.0 i was very happy with messenger now all i have is error when i try to call someone,saying”Messenger is not available right now”.
    i would like to now how to fix this……

    THANKS

  19. Thanks alot! I am in a remote area with dial-up. I cannot and do not want to upgrade to a newer version with my Windows XP. After a whole day of trying to update with DIAL UP – All my messages and contacts are gone. They were there for safekeeping. Just when I thought I could trust the messenger program this happens.

    Time to look alsewhere. Anyone out there that can recommend a GOOD email service?

  20. Thanks a lot! Ich bin in einer abgelegenen Gegend mit Dial-up. Ich kann und will nicht auf eine neuere Version mit meinem Windows XP zu aktualisieren. Nach einem ganzen Tag versucht, mit DFÜ-Update – Alle meine Nachrichten und Kontakte verschwunden sind. Sie wurden für die Verwahrung. Gerade als ich dachte, ich könnte den Boten-Programm in diesem Fall vertrauen. Time to alsewhere suchen. Anyone out there, dass ein gutes E-Mail-Dienst empfehlen können?
