Zero1 says:
  Microsoft have released a final version of MSN Messenger 7.5 (7.5.0299) on the MSN Messenger site right away. Official information seems not to have been updated yet as the site is still displaying MSN Messenger Version 7.0.

Some of the new features that have been incorporated in this updated version are the ability to add people, start a conversation, start a video conversation and start a voice conversation via a link in a webpage. The links are constructed as so:

Start a conversation: msnim:chat?contact=contact@hotmail.com
Add a contact: msnim:add?contact=contact@hotmail.com
Start a voice conversation: msinm:voice?contact=contact@hotmail.com
Start a video conversation: msinm:video?contact=contact@hotmail.com

Some people may notice this feature is similar to AOL Instant Messenger's link system.

The quality of audio over MSN Messenger has been improved and better echo-cancellation implemented.

haha, sources anyone?  , Patches found out from me after I posted it on TechnologyPulse, I saw it on Neowin and MSN Messenger at roughly the same time, and then Mess.be released it last .  So, click those links to check out the leading articles

I don't think that I will be downloading this program until the following programs are made compatible with it:

• Messenger Plus! Beta
  
• Stuffplug
  
• My current skin

You told me over Messenger actually.

Err...Messenger Plus! Beta is?  In fact, I think the current final of Messenger Plus! is as well.

I'm not upgrading until they force me too. I tried the beta, and it just seemed more bloated than 7.0. I found the voice clips were alright, but kinda useless, and the animated background things were just a completely useless, not to say, annoying, feature. Ah well. Also, things like Stuffplug won't be compatible, and I use that for things a lot, so...

7.5 seems to be broken on Windows Server 2003

I am not able to login with is...

and it's released just a day before Google Talk

They'll probably be an update in a couple of days. Its probably got bugs it in still, but they just wanted to beat the competition.

i installed it and then messenger wouldnt open and so i un installed and installed ocean3 skin or w.e and then it wouldnt open and said i couldnt open a convo window with so and so so im sticking with 7.0

no mess patch yet?

I am waiting for a patch

It won't let me sign in.

i'm on it fine, and no bugs yet

Guys, seriously, it takes patchers time to update there patch. It's not like 3 hours after a MAJOR release they can have there patch out. It will take some time. Rolando & Ahmad are busy people, and I'm sure they will get it out as soon as they can, be patient.

Edit: Looks like A-Patch is already updated.

On a sidenote: I wonder what certain people will say about this. And I mean the people who accuse Plus! of being a security risk to the user because it doesn't encrypt your email in the registry...

It would have been great if they gave an encoding for their email (and their MSNM client decoded this). Otherwise, the spambots will love this method.

Hey, does sum1 has a mirror of the Dutch version 4 me? Coz microsoft.com seems 2 be down 4 the moment...

the dutch sites of MSN Messenger are http://messenger.msn.nl (The Netherlands) and http://messenger.msn.be (Belgium)

Yeah, but the downloadlinks doesn't works.
But doesn't matter anymore, got already a mirror.

Now it won't sign in! Probs with DNS & Key ports. It says that I have 2 check my proxy- and firewallsettings.

I have Windows Firewall... And I think it does...
I go start > config. panel > Security center (or whatever it's called) > Windows Firewall > Exceptions > there I see MSN Messenger checked.
I think it has 2b checked, so that's good?

Maybe, delete the old Exception of MSN Messenger an RE-ADD it

I already did that. Maybe, if this helps, it gives error code 80072ee7.
Help me!!!

What happens if you turn off the windows firewall, can you connect then?

Still no luck signing in for me.
It has failed to sign in at all on my laptop - coming up with the message about being unavailable at this time, check firewall blah blah.

However, I managed to sign in one time on my PC but after installing the mess patch I can't sign in at all on here either.

I have since repaired Messenger but still cannot sign in. Other users on both computers can sign in so is it just my account? Grr this sucks. Back to 7.0 for me.

EDIT: For some reason, after I attempt to sign in, my email address is changed automatically to 'K   I   E   R   A   N' as shown and my password appears 6 characters shorter than it actually is. Maybe this is linked with the problem

how do i remove the sending blocker?

My MSN 7.5.0299 wouldn't sign in so I uninstalled StuffPlug, still wouldn't sign in, so i removed MsgPlus, and then it signed in fine.  I then tried reinstalling MsgPlus and it wouldn't sign in again

That's weird. StuffPlug and MsgPlus! both work fine with me. StuffPlug doesn't make it crash like it apparently does for others.

Found out what was causing Messenger not to sign in with MsgPlus -> Custom Names.  If you have custom names enabled then you get that error when you try to sign in.  You can re-enable them after you sign in, but if they are enabled before you sign in then it won't let you sign in :/

AARGH! Why do I always am in trouble...
Whatever, I searched a bit and found out in Tools > Options > Connection > Advanced settings there's nothing inputted. Can sum1 tell me what I have 2 fill in it?

Ummm, no it doesn't.

I have Custom names enabled, and I can sign into MSN Messenger 7.5 with ease, and I haven't had any problems with it at all. It might just a localised problem for a few of you.

Got it and working perfectly!! with all the patches and messenger plus and stuffplug

except a problem with msn today, check this http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=49444

It still doesn't works...
Any1 other ideas? And why's microsoft down?
