I was online today and was logged into my wife's MSN Messenger, and this "there is a new version of MSN Messenger.." thingy appeared in the box, well, i clicked on it, updated it, and rebooted, and now my msn messenger has gone whacko.. i get: CCTCClient: msmsgs.exe - Application Error --- The instruction at "0x77f515c0" referenced memory at "0x00370586". The Memory could not be "read". .. but what's worse, it does this 3 more times with different 0x000000 thingys and the last one being "written" instead of "read"... any ideas?

help :dead:

installing over the top of a bad install never works... you need to uninstall it all, msn im and the plus (which is probably the problem), then reinstall msn im to see if it works.

i tried to uninstall via the edit windowsinfsysoc.inf method, and there's no Messenger in the Add/Remove Components.. is there another method of removing msn messenger?

      low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.

      I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.

      You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
