Installed this last night and what a mistake I made.
Like Fab I have tthis running in the background and get on with my work like a good girl. If anyone sent me a message on my old MSN I got a flash in the toolbar at the bottom of my screen.
This version just pops up and I cannot find a way to stop it doing that. Any of yo wonderful people on here got any ideas?  |

open msn messenger, click the 'Tools' menu, then 'options' in the drop down list.
This will bring up a list of diferent options. there are a list of menu's running down the left hand side (Personal, layout, sign in etc) I think you need to go to Alerts and left click that menu and click 'display alerts when a messagte is recieved'. this should stop them poping up when you get a message (you can togle all sorts of options from this menu).
Hope that does the trick for you. |

Start is short for "Start Menu" not to start or shut down the PC! |

one thing you can do is open "programes"
in there you will see the old windows messenger
open that one and sign in
it works fine although its a bit antique
but if all you want is to chat to the odd buddy its fine
no bells and whistles |

The new version of Word is god damn awful, they've moved everything for no good reason whatsoever. Fine if you're a new user but not great if you've been using Word for years as I have... Bad, bad Microsoft. |

Right this is a girly talking
when I try to sign on on windows live messenger from the progrmames bit
It says that it is not responding
and then says
a problem caused the programme to stop working correctly
We will close the programme and anotify you if a solution is available
then nothing
See told you I was a girl |

Thank feck it's not just me!!!
Posted exactly the same problem on my status, and I had plenty of offers to fix it, a young helpful guy came round last night and found out a file called .netcom didn't download properly, and he then reinstalled it, I'm still having problems, which he has offered to come back round and sort, but I am currently deleting some infected files he also spotted.
Silly question but have you un-installed (messenger) and then reinstalled it, which is what I did, just waiting to see if it has worked, so fingers crossed!!!! |

Right, just to say, I am now back on line after having exactly the same problem, feel free to contact me for a solution and I'll try and talk you through how to sort!!  |

A word of warning though, dont delete your windowslive account as you will lose all your messenger contacts. In their bid to get everyone using windowslive (marketing and sales crap) they have linked the 2 together so you cant have msn messenger without a windowslive account as i found to my cost   |
