Prompted for update? by Dynamite Andy on 11-04-2009 at 09:58 PM

Hey

Today i just signed on to msn and i got prompted for a Messenger Plus live update.
There is no new updates on the site.. and i had the latest version..

Whats with the prompt to update?

RE: Prompted for update? by djdannyp on 11-04-2009 at 10:01 PM

Are you sure that you're running the latest version?

Could the update window have been for a skin or script that you are using?

Type "/checkupdates" into a conversation window and press enter and you should get the update window up again.  What does it have in it?

Post a screenshot if necessary for us to help you out :)

it wasnt a script or skin update it was a Messenger Plus live update,
i installed it but i was just wondering why i was prompted lol

If you were prompted it was because you weren't running the latest version, despite what you thought

A new version has indeed been released recently: 4.83 :)

According to this thread it could be because you didn't download it from the official website. Clear your browser cache, re-download and install.

If no good, Cookie suggests having a look at "Windows Live OneCare 1.5 MP!L and Vista".

And finally, try restarting your computer if you haven't already, as that solved the problem for someone during beta testing couple years ago.

I downloaded it directly from here.

I was also prompted for update, if this is what we're talking about:

At first it kept showing me errors and I finally managed to update. Didn't like the new version, it's totally different, with some new irritating options and missing some of the old options at the same time. Simple didn't like it  [Image: c065.gif]  I installed the old version again (this one), but it won't let me sign in, keeps showing me the prompt for update  [Image: e060.gif]  It's getting really annoying!  How can I sign in with the old version?

RE: Prompted for update? by Patchou on 11-06-2009 at 04:03 PM

YourNeibour: can you try downloading the new version from the site and tell us if this works? it should be the same setup but maybe there was a problem during your download.

Lujka: the update prompt you got is from Microsoft, for Messenger itself. It is not related to Messenger Plus!.

RE: Prompted for update? by Lujka on 11-06-2009 at 04:12 PM

But I can't log in to Messenger Plus anyway :( So, what do I do now?

RE: Prompted for update? by YourNeibour on 11-06-2009 at 04:44 PM

I actually downloaded it from the http://shoutbox.menthix.net and I got the same error....I've downloaded it twice and got the same error

RE: Prompted for update? by Patchou on 11-06-2009 at 04:49 PM

YourNeibour: could you try unisntalling Messenger Plus! and restart your computer? this is a very strange issue. When uninstalling, just select to keep your user settings so you won't lose anything personal.

@Patchou: same issue: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=92822

The prompt you got is from Messenger itself, not from Messenger Plus!. Your issue is something completely different than what this thread is about.

Messenger is the program you use to chat with.
Messenger Plus! is an addon to add some extra features

From this weekend, all people using MSN Messenger 8.x will _need_ to upgrade to Windows Live Messenger. This is a mandatory update.

Windows Live Messenger adds more features and many bugs and security issues from the previous Messenger versions are fixed. Eventhough it looks a bit different, you can change the look a bit with its new options. There are almost no features removed compared to Messenger 8.x.

Thanx a lot! :)

RE: Prompted for update? by YourNeibour on 11-06-2009 at 06:19 PM

I deleted it completely from my system and removed it from the registry and installed in and worked now....very weird.
