How to install earlier versions? by harry1971 on 02-17-2011 at 01:11 PM
Hi,
I would like to install an earlier version of Windows Live Messenger than the version 2009 (Build 14.0.8117.416) I am using now. When I try to do this, Windows Live forces me to install this newer version which is causing me problems in video/webcam. I would appreciate your advice.

What kind of problems?
And sorry, it's not possible by normal means, and the "advanced means" will only give you headaches [and probably be not compatible with Plus! or any other add-on].

well, when I start a video session, the receiver can see what is going from my end, but I cannot see what I send over (there is a cross sign in my video screen box). Another problem is, when someone sends me webcam picgtures from an old MSN version (e.g. Version 7), I cannot receive it.

As for the issues, when you run the Audio and Video Setup wizard do you see a preview of your webcam on the second page of the wizard?

Yes Matty,
I do see my own picture in the audio/video set up, and when I run the webcam separately. I also see the video sent by any sender using recent versions of the Windows Live Messenger.
