I got the new updated Messenger and now I want to go back to the previous version (8.5)

I tried to delete the new. And get old. But did not succeed the way.

Because the new update becomes mandatory (but before optional)

What do I do?


ThankS

Basically, you have to use WLM 2009.

I'm sure you'll soon get used to the new version......change is a good thing when it's for the better!

Thank you, but I insist on the previous version (8.5)

Unfortunately that isn't your decision to make.

It is always important to keep up to date with the latest versions of software and Windows Live Messenger is no different

Luckily i backed up with Acronis before trying the abbsymal WLM 2009. And i wont be using it again. Garbageware . 8.5 is infinitely better.


Anyway Avidvd , uninstall all of it.... i  have the last full version of 8.5 and you can get it here. Enjoy.   It wont bug you to upgrade after a while. I have been using 8.5 for ages.


WLM 8.5 FULL

Annoying "free" download services. Live Messenger is and has always been available directly from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?d...-b445-0487bd5e84ef

Thanks for the link Menthix.  Appreciated.

You will be forced to update anyway, I don't know why many people doesn't like WLM 2009, there are some changes that I didn't like, but yeah, you get used to them.

How can I do this?

You can use ZapMessenger for that.

As for the update issue, you can try changing the compatibility mode of msnmsgr.exe to Windows 2000 as someone suggested. I dont know it would work or not but someone said it worked so it is worth a try.
