A few problems encountered with WLM 2009 by Madboy on 01-10-2009 at 06:17 AM

1. when in a mass conversation, theres no sound when someone posts a message. works fine in 1 to 1 conversations tho.

2. when you change the colour scheme ( bottom part ) for WLM 2009 to black, its really white. And its really bright in my opinion. Is there anyway to make it greyish or something like that.

3. This isn't really a problem but, the green square surrounding your display picture, it cant be changed into another colour right?

That should be all, Thanks alot for answering my questions

hmm help?

2. This cannot be changed, i recall a patch previously making the colours more identified in previous versions but haven't seen this in new versions.
3. No the surrounding colour cannot be changed in the settings as it is linked to the contacts status. Not sure if skins can adjust this but i think they can?

If you are using Messenger Plus! Live 4.79 Beta with the new version of Windows Live Messenger then this is a known bug caused by MP!L 4.79 and you can either uninstall 4.79 Beta or wait for the release a little later on today of the 4.80 Beta :)

Tools > Options > Alerts > Only show an alert for group messages  after group is idle for: <number>

If you set the number to 0 you'll get a sound each time..

Sound works in other programs?

Are you set to Busy? Do you have the options "Display alerts when a message is received" and "display alerts when a group message is received" turned on? (Settings > Alerts)

Make sure "Mute all sounds" isn't checked in Settings > Sound.
RE: A few problems encountered with WLM 2009 by Madboy on 01-12-2009 at 05:17 PM

yes. i can hear the sounds perfectly fine in 1 to 1 conversations. I just cant hear the sounds in group chats. and yes i have all alerts checked.


RE: A few problems encountered with WLM 2009 by Madboy on 01-14-2009 at 04:06 AM

hmm. still no sound. waiting for the new plus! to be released T_T


RE: A few problems encountered with WLM 2009 by Madboy on 01-18-2009 at 03:22 PM

hmm still no sounds T_T


RE: A few problems encountered with WLM 2009 by Lefteris on 01-18-2009 at 04:38 PM

I have another problem.
Whenever I see the message that I have new email and I press it, it will get me to the italian?? hotmail site and it has italian advertisements but WLM is english...Any ideas?


RE: A few problems encountered with WLM 2009 by haydos on 01-18-2009 at 07:34 PM

Have you tried changing the options in your hotmail? There is a button top right which lets you choose your language.


RE: A few problems encountered with WLM 2009 by Lefteris on 01-19-2009 at 01:04 AM

Yes, but if I close it and reopen it, I have it again italian!
And if I press help, more information even the advertisement at bottom of WLM 2009 it takes me to italian pages... :(
Also my regional settings in my PC are correct!
