man, i really dont get your peoples complaining. the only real problems i have read is people having troubles installing it. thats it. That and all there unofficial addons wont work. and how they cant remove the ads that are there.. like really people, you have soo many problems, you make a clone, and not just a clone one that supports ALL The features msn messenger has. With the webcam and other things like that support. i have only ever seen one come close, that being dmsn

im getting that error too

This seems to be a problem with the MSI (MicroSoft Installer) rather than messenger... There seems to be quite a lot of problems with it at the moment. Could be to do with them withdrawing the software off the main site?

I would wait till monday when the final release comes out before sending lots of angry emails to microsoft. Not that that is a good idea to do anyway :p

In the meantime, try saving the installer to a folder, if that still doesnt work try googling some of the various install errors and messages that you recieve while trying to install.

That's not what I mean :p

See attachment ;)

Understood. Sorry for the misconception. :( Anyway, I've got a solution or maybe two. :cool:

1. Go to Messenger main window. Tools > Group Offline Contacts Together (This way, you can have/retain your original groups)

2. Go to Messenger main window. Tools > Sort Contacts By > Online/Offiline (This is an alternative method, but you lose the groupings)

I guess that the above are the only default methods (ie. without installing any patches). If you do not think the above are suitable for you, do a search for utilities/patches for such a function (TIP: try mess.be first). Hope it helps :rolleyes: !

Cheers :D,

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
