Hmmm... Is there anything different to it than 6.1?
RE: MSN Messenger 6.2 by MJ™ on 04-26-2004 at 06:40 AM

Yep

There is one or two new features, but there is also security patch, so perhaps it's better to install it :D

Will MSN Messenger for Mac replace my MSN Messenger for windows if I install it? * :)
RE: MSN Messenger 6.2 by Menthix on 04-26-2004 at 07:36 AM

As far as i know you can only install the Mac version on a Mac.
And you can only install the Windows version on Windows.

Unless you are using emulators, but i don't think you do that. So there is now way to replace the Windows version with the Mac version on your system.


RE: MSN Messenger 6.2 by BiZaRrE on 04-26-2004 at 09:56 AM

when i go to http://www.messenger.msn.com it doesn't show anything about 6.2, but still shows the link for 6.1 (i live in singapore btw).

has it been officially released? and/or does anybody have a download link to 6.2 that does work?

Only the old 6.2 build which contains some bugs: http://www.xs4all.nl/~mail2jae/msn/

You'll notice it here on the forum as soon as the new build is released :).

RE: MSN Messenger 6.2 by TedoDude on 04-26-2004 at 12:04 PM

Probably better to wait for the official release of 6.2 as it is only today and those bugs will have been ironed out :P

If you want to use another language in your msn messenger, you can only download a new one specifically for the language you want it in. Or you can change the msglang.dll, but that takes a lot of time. Best is to use msn 6.1 till the official release of 6.2.
RE: MSN Messenger 6.2 by BaBy on 04-26-2004 at 04:03 PM

Yes,you should be able to change the language

RE: MSN Messenger 6.2 by Nemesis on 04-26-2004 at 05:47 PM

All of the MSN sites now are labelled "6.2" but they are givin' off 6.1... I've cleaned my cache.. what's wrong with msn?


RE: MSN Messenger 6.2 by Kryptonate on 04-26-2004 at 05:49 PM

They first update the lay-out and afterwards they'll update the SetupID.exe :)

RE: MSN Messenger 6.2 by jren207 on 04-26-2004 at 08:06 PM

Is the leaked msn 6.2 REALLY that buggy? I have it installed and it works fine.
(Although I am definately gonna install the new build)


RE: MSN Messenger 6.2 by TedoDude on 04-26-2004 at 08:09 PM

I don't think Microsoft released much about the bug, but it had to be a bit for Microsoft to recall it. Probably the best idea just to install the new one.

the other may work... but you will be complaining when your computer gets hacked (or whatever the bug allows)


RE: MSN Messenger 6.2 by jren207 on 04-26-2004 at 08:31 PM

Noooo not my lovely computer :o
I will make sure i get the latest build.
I wish it would be released..... soon.... Taking Ages...

it is released ... altough it has the same build number as the one many people downloaded last Thursday.
RE: MSN Messenger 6.2 by jren207 on 04-26-2004 at 09:23 PM

But wont i get the repair option if i install a version of the same build?
Or will it install like a new version because some parts are changed?
Or should i uninstall the other version i have and then install the new type?


RE: MSN Messenger 6.2 by lylesback2 on 04-26-2004 at 09:32 PM

http://messenger.msn.ca version is giving me errors... saying it is missing something, then does a "roll back" not completing installation, then says erroe "1608" or something download a new version at MSN.com


RE: MSN Messenger 6.2 by frog on 04-26-2004 at 09:42 PM

then.. download it there... :P


RE: MSN Messenger 6.2 by Capo on 04-26-2004 at 09:44 PM

the one released on thurday and the one released today are exactly the same thing. ive noticed no bugs in 6.2 if it keeps crashing its something to do with your pc or old msg plugins.
just because it crashed it doesnt mean its a bug with the program.


RE: MSN Messenger 6.2 by jren207 on 04-26-2004 at 09:47 PM

As long as you update software, get windows updates, do checks on ur pc etc. then things like msn should run OK

RE: MSN Messenger 6.2 by andrewhaji on 04-29-2004 at 08:28 PM

I'm having severe issues with MSN Messenger 6.2.  I can't log in...every time I try, I get an error.  This only happens on my desktop--it works just fine on my laptop.  I've attached a screenshot of the error I get, if the code might be helpful in any way.  Thanks a lot for you guys' help!


RE: MSN Messenger 6.2 by Guido on 04-29-2004 at 09:06 PM

Tried restarting? Could be a memory error


RE: MSN Messenger 6.2 by andrewhaji on 04-29-2004 at 09:42 PM

It's not a hardware error, I'm absolutely certain of that.  And yes, I've tried restarting and I've tried cleaning out MSN Messenger's registry settings as recommended elsewhere on the forums.  It's a brand new computer with brand new RAM, and I've tested the RAM--it's good.

And besides, I NEVER had these types of issues with MSN Messenger 6.1.  It's only this new 6.2 that's screwing things up.


RE: MSN Messenger 6.2 by extrodity on 04-29-2004 at 10:20 PM

go to the add/remove programs list, and find msn messenger 6.2. use the repair funtion that is with the uninsall option, this may help, it worked for me ;)


RE: MSN Messenger 6.2 by Mnjul on 04-30-2004 at 02:02 PM

OK I got the workaround...have tried many times on my another computer ;)


1. Uninstall MSN Messenger 6.1, and install 6.2. Reboot isn't required.
2. Don't try to sign in yet!
3. Open your registry editor (regedit), locate HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger
4. Export the whole PerPassportSettings to a file. (That is, back it up)
5. Delete the whole PerPassportSettings sub-directory.
6. You should be able to sign in successfully now. After you sign in, just sign out immediately.
(You need to perform signing in/out with every .net messenger passport acccount you have)
7. Restore your exported registry file - just locate the file and double click it. You will be prompted and click Yes, OK.
8. The revisedcookie bad cookie is crumbled :D (OK, joke, cookish, don't be angry please...:P)

that's the newest webcam made my logitech, has face tracking feature.  i am using it, it's totally awesome.  as of feature-wise, if you use msn's webcam feature you'll probably notice that the video is a lot faster now, and i mean it by, A LOT.
RE: MSN Messenger 6.2 by TedoDude on 05-02-2004 at 05:43 PM

well... actually me and my buddy's webcam's both crashed when we used them. We haven't changed cam's or anything.
