RE: "You have 2 invitations" annoying message/WLM2009
What do you mean by "main" and "secondary"?. For the server all accounts are the same and should behave in the same manner | alegator | Skype & Live Messenger | 09-02-2009 at 12:20 AM |
RE: "You have 2 invitations" annoying message/WLM2009
Years?? Wow...maybe the only solution then might be replacing the Id by a new one...or maybe "downgrading" back to v8.5 | alegator | Skype & Live Messenger | 09-01-2009 at 07:16 PM |
RE: "You have 2 invitations" annoying message/WLM2009

I was chatting with a friend and saw his display picture in the chat window behaving as a slideshow (changing pictures). He told me he was using "MSN Pictures Displayer 4.6.3.0". What is the best program for this function? Thanks | alegator | Skype & Live Messenger | 08-14-2009 at 03:37 AM |
RE: How to change contact's font in WLM2009?
Yes, you're right, I closed the contact list, reopened it and the nickname refreshed with new colors.:) How about bold red? it would be: [b ][c=4]Joe[/c][/b]? Problem is that for longer names the nickname has a limit on the number of characters and ... | alegator | Skype & Live Messenger | 08-05-2009 at 04:54 AM |
RE: How to change contact's font in WLM2009?
I followed your instructions to add the red color to "Joe" in my contact list. So I right click on "Joe", select "Edit nickname", and then modified "Joe" to "[c=4]Joe[/c]". After doing that Joe is not turned into red, instead the following... | alegator | Skype & Live Messenger | 08-04-2009 at 10:47 AM |
WLM2009...so far so good!
I had low expectations for WLM2009 given the bad reviews I read everywhere. However, I upgraded to WLM2009 yesterday from WLM8 and so far I like it, seems to be low on resources, no CPU hog so far, and I like the GUI and the various customizations on... | alegator | Skype & Live Messenger | 08-02-2009 at 10:43 PM |
RE: How to change contact's font in WLM2009?
Too bad, I remember however seeing a WLM (can't recall version number) where you could add colors to a contact's nickname | alegator | Skype & Live Messenger | 08-02-2009 at 10:40 PM |
RE: How to change contact's font in WLM2009?
Yes, but adding a nickname only allows adding a custom name to a given contact. I know that you can also add certain parameters like "[b][/b]" for bold, etc, as I did in WLM8, but I thought that WLM2009 included friendlier options to do this. What ... | alegator | Skype & Live Messenger | 08-02-2009 at 05:17 PM |
RE: Clean uninstalling WLM
Thanks for your replies, I just upgraded to WLM2009 with no problems so far, without needing to do an agressive uninstall, just the regular uninstall from the Add/Remove Programs applet. Regards. | alegator | Skype & Live Messenger | 08-02-2009 at 09:00 AM |
How to change contact's font in WLM2009?
I just upgraded to WLM2009. How can I change a contact's font type, color, etc in the contact list? (for example changing a certain contact display name to bold and red) I explored the menu options but can't find any setting related to this.

Clean uninstalling WLM
Aside from the usual Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel is there a more aggressive method of completely wiping out all traces of WLM in a WinXP Pro SP3 PC? What folders/files and/or registry entries must be deleted? The idea is to be able to do a c... | alegator | Skype & Live Messenger | 08-01-2009 at 12:59 PM |

RE: Is it worth upgrading from WinXP to Win7?
I installed Win7 RC in a separate hard drive for testing purposes and also to get familiar with the GUI.

RE: Is it worth upgrading from WinXP to Win7?
Yes, I know that Win7 provides new features/reliability/better securiity compared to XP, that's the idea behind upgrading. But if all that will come at the expense of a much slower performance (specific to my system) then it might not be worth it, ... | alegator | Tech Talk | 07-25-2009 at 11:44 PM |

Hi, I have WLM v8.5.1302.1018 installed with the latest Plus! in a WinXP Pro SP3 PC. I have noticed recently that WLM when logged on the internet starts to create high CPU load, making my PC slow.

RE: Adding a previously blocked/deleted contact
