Hi all!
I have the following symptoms and need an urgent, official solution for it!
- Windows XP SP3
- Windows Live! Messenger 8.5.1302.1018
- Messenger Plus! 4.70
1. I tried to install the new
Windows Messenger 2009, but after I realized, somehow it always exit after 15-20 seconds without any reason, I uninstalled it. I was clear about that the Plus! isn't compatible (yet) with that version, so I didn't try it to install. It would have been enough for me if the newer MSN would have worked alone.
2. Okay, after that I decided to downgrade back to
Windows Live! Messenger 8.5.1302.1018, and after installed
Messenger Plus! 4.70 again.
BUT !!!
since that moment I couldn't solve the problem that Plus! never appears as if it would be installed into MSN..
Even if it's in the Add / remove programs list...
You can imagine.. I browsed threads' posts dozen times... but never solved anything..
Other weird reflections:
- since that thing written all above I've paid attention of the effect that when MSN is in the background (okay, now 'without' Plus), and after a while it always starts blinking on the taskbar. Since I always ran MSN WITH Plus, I don't know if it's normal or not.
As I remember, I had the whole same problem two years ago (on another configuration)... and then there wasn't any
WLM 9 or something.. and I had to wait until next update of Plus came....
All in all in order to get this big problem solved - not only for me, but as I can see for looots and lots of other people, I guess it's worth to make a test by developers trying this in a fully fresh installed XP OS, and observe it if it's really happening this way.
