Windows Live Messenger 8 - full of bugs by ss180 on 06-25-2006 at 01:49 AM

For some reason, WLM 8 crashes at least 5 times a day. Sometimes when I just leave the program open for a few minutes, I get an error and have to close. Sometimes, when just opening a conversation, it crashes. Sometimes I feel like my head is going to explode. :p

Does this happen to anyone else? The beta actually had much less bugs than this supposedly "final" version. I'm so mad right now. :@
And sorry if I posted this in the wrong section.

Where did you download WLM 8 from?

What does the error say?


RE: Windows Live Messenger 8 - full of bugs by ss180 on 06-25-2006 at 01:58 AM

Downloaded it directly from Microsoft.

Here's a pic of the error:

How does it crash? Which version are you using?


RE: Windows Live Messenger 8 - full of bugs by Hank on 06-25-2006 at 02:01 AM

does it give you an error code?.. that doesnt tell us much


RE: Windows Live Messenger 8 - full of bugs by ss180 on 06-25-2006 at 02:03 AM

Build 8.0.0792.00

And by how...you mean what causes it to crash? Well, every time I try importing a script in the Messenger Plus Live options, it crashes. That's the only way it consistently crashes. Other times are random, like when I open convos with other people.

EDIT:
Nope, never gives me a code, it's always the same error.


RE: Windows Live Messenger 8 - full of bugs by Nagamasa on 06-25-2006 at 02:04 AM

does it just freeze and that error thingy pop up or what??


RE: Windows Live Messenger 8 - full of bugs by ss180 on 06-25-2006 at 02:06 AM

Yep, it just hangs a little, and displays the error.
I think I'm being kinda vague though...is there any other info you need?


RE: Windows Live Messenger 8 - full of bugs by Discrate on 06-25-2006 at 02:06 AM

Have you tried re-downloading it? if not try re-downloading it, if the problem keeps occuring contact msn support here http://support.msn.com/contactus.aspx

I know its not windows live support but i can not  direct support system for windows live messenger and when i have a problem i contact the support msn people, and they get back to me in 5 hours.

I hope this helps :)

well i find going to msn support you get a reply faster and they still know what to say and to do. live support takes ages to reply.
RE: Windows Live Messenger 8 - full of bugs by Nagamasa on 06-25-2006 at 02:15 AM

[somewhat off topic] It took them less than 2 hours to reply [/somewhat off topic]

It might be something slowing down your computer. It freezes on my mom's computer periodically cause it sucks.


RE: Windows Live Messenger 8 - full of bugs by ss180 on 06-25-2006 at 02:20 AM

Ok, I'm gonna download version 787, and if that doesn't work, it's probably because my computer sucks. :p
Thanks everyone for the quick replies!
