No you can't. Windows Live Messenger is only compatible with Windows XP.

MSVCR80.dll is the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library 8.0, which can be installed using a redist package from Microsoft themselves. Install it, then try again

Where did I get the .dll?
Thanks

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86)
And I'm not certain having this DLL will make WLM work, btw.
Oh, and no, I'm not sure why microsoft.com has changed into thesource.ofallevil.com ... 0_o

Oh, it works perfectly
Thanks a lot

The Source Of All Evil (I think it's some kind of copy site?, or someone got the IP to microsoft download senter, and bought them a domain.)

Well, it appears to be
Maybe a subdomain or something like that
But although it works perfectly I don't why doing that...
RE: Any Possibility??? by Reload2 on 07-02-2006 at 06:58 PM
Well if you replace thesource.ofallevil.com by microsoft.com, it still works
RE: Any Possibility??? by DarkMe on 07-02-2006 at 07:02 PM
Yeah, it works but I don't find any difference...

Basically, thesource.ofallevil.com is microsoft.com.
