Messenger Beta News and Notes

12-Sep, 2006






Here is the latest essential information you need to help you with your beta testing.




Automatic Update Testing - Within the next two days you will be asked to install a new build of the Messenger 8.1 beta. Although the upgrade is optional, we ask that you install this build and file bugs for any issues that you encounter.



This build will be exactly like the current build you are testing except for one change. With this new build we have turned on special installation logging. This logging will increase the installation time significantly.  This is expected for the beta only and we do not need you to file any bugs about the slow install experience.



Bug Bash - look for details on the Connect site and in the newsgroups this week about an upcoming Bug Bash. We encourage all testers to participate and take advantage of this opportunity to win some prizes.



Changes to the Location PSM feature - Those of you have tried out the new Location PSM feature have noticed it is quite buggy. Well, it is back to the drawing board. In an upcoming refresh, this feature will be removed. Therefore, we don't need any more Location PSM bugs. We thank all of you for giving it a try and giving us your feedback.




Crash Issue - Many of you on Vista RC1 continually get a crash with the Messenger 8.1 beta. If you are one of these testers, please read the following information.



Currently there's an issue with Vista, Shockwave and Messenger 8.1 not playing well in the same sandbox so to speak.  This has been attributed but not limited to; Send/Receive Winks, Dynamic Display Pictures, Shockwave Ads, & Shockwave in MSN Today.

While we're working diligently on a fix to repair this, below are two temporary workarounds to alleviate the pain some."
