I made the mistake of upgrading to the 2009 version of Windows Live Messenger this evening. I HATE it. The colours are garish and hurt my eyes. Even changing the colour scheme on the main window doesn't help, as for some reason it's not changing the colours on my chat window. I DO NOT WANT pictures as background. I just want the ability to get rid of those horrible bright colours so that I won't get headaches using the thing.
PLEASE someone tell me how to uninstall this piece of crap and go back to the version I had an hour ago and was happy with. Thank you.
- you posted in the wrong forum.... this subforum is about Messenger Plus!, an addon for Windows Live Messenger.
- The colors can normally be changed to even as dark as black. And the blueish color isn't that different from the one used in 8.5 anyways.
Anyways,
1) Uninstall Windows Live Messenger 2009.
Do this by going to your Control Panel and
Add/Remove Programs.
There select
Windows Live Essentials and choose "Remove"
When the installer launches you can select Windows Live Messenger to be removed.
Make sure you read and follow the on-screen instructions properly.
In case you have previously installed a beta version of Windows Live Messenger 2009, you need to uninstall that too by selecting "Windows Live Messenger" from the 'Add/Remove Programs'- list.
There is realy NO need for 3rd party tools UNLESS you experience some problems.
2) Download Windows Live Messenger 8.5
Go to the official
Microsoft Download Center.
You don't need to go to any dodgy 3rd party download sites.
The proper official link to download Windows Live Messenger 8.5 is:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?F...-b445-0487bd5e84ef
3) Run the installer you just downloaded.
