Ok so what problems are there with WLM 9?

I've heard people say you can't send files on it or view webcams. but is that only for a few people or everyone?

You most certainly can send files and view webcams.

It's slow and bloated. I'll be sticking with 8.5 until it's forced on me, and then I'll just use something else.

my problems with this version is I hardly to sign in and in other cases is this version will get me keep disconnecting...

very very often...


for me, WLM 9 is sucks....


but, I cant uninstall it although i wish to...So, switch to use ebuddy ^^

Well i don't like how the color dictates the status of the person, i personally liked the old ones where it shows you the body and uses picture sign so you know the status of the person, it even said if the person was away or busy in words (now i have to look for the status in words in the new one instead of simply just looking at the contact list), so i didnt have to try to remember what this color stands for, they should of kept the status picture signs in new one instead of this "you gota remember what this color represents what status" and should have kept the the words visible aswell so it says the person is away or busy instead of guessing the color of it like in the new one.

It's what bugs me the most about new one, it was simple in old one and it showed you and told you everthing on the contact list, not so much in the new one.

Perhaps they should have a option so you can switch to the classic style layout and look if you liked that one, in the options menu.

You can turn on the option: Show status information in labels in Tools>Options>Layout and it will show you your contacts' status in words.

One problem that still exists with this version is that the order in which custom emoticons are added is no kept. My emoticons are jumbled all over the place in the list and the list doesnt seem to be sorted by anything in particular, very annoying

Yes, thanks MersauX, your right i re-checked and luckily the option was there

I still hope they somehow bring back the old sign and body for the status as an optional option, but atleast they have status in words available.

My biggest problem with my Windows Live Messenger 2009 version 14. is that many of my buddy's display pictures won't show up for me. It's horrid. Some of them use Trillian, so I don't know if that is the case. Still, Microsoft should fix this bug.

I am having problems with custom emoticons. When adding them, any graphics in PNG format come out extremely small when I use the icons in conversations. Other formats seem fine.

Converting the images helps, but some of them are transparency dependent, and converting them messes that up.

My webcam is flipped when I see it when i'm videochatting but my contacts see in the way it should be. How do I fix this?

Hi. I installed 2009 version and there is no contact list. In options under connection -> You are directly connected to .NET Messenger Service.

You are connected to the Internet trough a non-UPnP symmetric NAT. (Administrator)

I don`t even have a router. I have dial up connection.
There is no problem with 2008 (8.5) version. If somebody can help...?
Windows XP SP3.

[Send an Instant Message]
[Send e-mail]
[Enter a moblie Number]
[add to profile]
[view profile]
