I'm 50% sure this can also be integrated in a script with process memory manipulation...anyone wants to try? Or I try?

Edit: script patching the string doesn't seem to work. I'll try to patch the code where the string is matched.

Edit2: OK, it appears that the strings are being copied to somewhere when Messenger is started (that is, when scripts are not initialized to run). It's gonna be hard to dynamically catch where the string is stored that is actually matched against :/ Now I'll search for all MBCS case-insensitive strcmp calls

this is just a trick from Microsoft to people download WL2011, well i say: fuck them. I will never use the new live version.

They say it was temporary, but its still the same? If next week this still continues ill use that option footose posted here.

It's not a trick; read the rest of this thread.

Temporary could mean upto a few months/years. Don't expect a quick fix

It isn't a trick? Well it sounds like one to me, taken from the Live team blog:

"Messenger 2011 is not impacted in the same way, thanks to its Link Safety feature."

Well people, look, WL 2011 still works! You should all upgrade lolololo!

Years? Are you serious? Common...

you're right, they should have left that important safety feature out of wlm so they can click harmful links too!.

Seriously. they provide a more long term approach for a newer version because its not easy to implement new code into something thats on your computer (as you refuse to upgrade). And since they had new ideas in mind anyway, it made sense to implement aforementioned safety feature into a newer release.

TReKiE released Messenger Link Reviver which will restore the ability to click on links in Windows Live Messenger 2009.

It will modify Messenger, probably using the same kind of method footose already described. But Link Reviver makes is easy for everyone with just a few clicks.

Solved, thank you.

Ok..  the Messenger Link Revivel didn't work for me.
It seems that all it does is to give an hyperlink appearence in the chat window (i click on it and it still doesnt work)
and what's more, the hyperlink for seeing a user's profile doesn't work either

and i don't know about the rest of you, but in my computer it's definitely a plus problem: if i uninstall the plus, then everything works just fine; if i install it again, then the problem comes back.


I have the versions of plus (4.9.0.392) and wlmsn (14.0.8117.416), but i had the same problem when with the lastest versions before those.
Oh, and i already tried to uninstall everything and install it again..


ideas?     



ps. sorry for my crappy english!

When did links get enabled again?

Noticed this as well maybe a week ago.
