RE: Is WLM 2009 final?
Yes, I'll wait for the WLM9 upgrade until a final version of Apatch/Mess and Plus Live! for WLM9 are released.

RE: Is WLM 2009 final?
So then all custom nicknames I added from within WLM8 will be lost? And is there a version of Mess patch for WLM9? If so where can I get it? Or should I use the light version of Apatch instead? Thanks

RE: Serious help. Hacked?
If you want to be 100% safe I would format the drive and do a clean Windows installation with a good firewall/AV (Norton INternet Security is a good one).

SSD
Do SSD's need defragging? I would assume they don't. If so, what will happen to software companies like Diskeeper, Raxco, etc?

Display pictures order in WLM
When I want to change the display picture in WLM a "Display Pictures" window pops up with a thumbnail scrollbar list of all the display pictures. Is there a way to customize the order in which these thumbnails show in the list? Thanks

RE: Serious font problem in my PC
Hi, it has nothing to do with IE text size. As I stated in my post the issue shows in other applications. Thanks anyway.

RE: How to change Nicknames font in WLM?

RE: How to change Nicknames font in WLM?
Sorry but I cannot find the Plus! feature you're mentioning. In MSN Messenger Plus! you were able to do this since PLus! had a "rename contact" feature. But since WLM already includes a built in "Add a nickname" feature, Plus Live! no longer ha...
