leTus Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Just installed mine. Just played little bit with it. A little dissapointed with the sharefolders I thought I will be ablea to share one folder for a couple of persons but the only way I could see is everybody has it's own folder and if you want to share some files you have to copy or move them there. Didn't test the offline messaging yet. That's it for now. P.S The tray icon JUST SUCKS, if anybody from microsoft is reading this forum, then guys do something about that.

redfish Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 IMPORTANT--- I know if get the download email in gmail you will not be able to click on the download button. I know it works in Hotmail and not gmail (I know from the OneCare beta). But from gmail I had to view the source of the email message and copy and paste the URL into the address bar. Second, do not open up the download link in Firefox, it will give you a message that you need to use IE, and when you go to open the URL in IE it will give you the same message. (at least this was true for OneCare). Do not navigate to the download URL using any browser but IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty0080 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Mods, remove this if it's not allowed but I don't see why not because only BETA testers can sign in. Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0365 BETA can be downloaded from Microsoft here... http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/2...senger_Beta.exe If the download is slow I've mirrored it... http://www.ncn-software.com/other/windows-...r/wlm800365.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spenser.d Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Bleh...I have 0365, and it still wont let me sign in, even though i got the download email. I guess I'll sleep on it. -Spenser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Lamar Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Im excited about getting the change to use this, but after using pretty v7.5, this one looks "fugglieee" :whistle: Serious though it looks like one of those concept skreenshots. All cheap and slapped together. :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwjw1 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 (edited) To the guy who said to use IE, that doesn't work. I tried with FF and with IE, both in Gmail and Yahoo. I also tried from within Thunderbird and Mail (on my Mac), and neither of those show a link, either--just the "Download Now" button. =\ gmail and other email programs are blocking the 'graphic' and 'link'...either set your email to veiw 'inline' graphics...or right click and view source...the link will look something like: http://ideas.live.com/AcceptInvitation.asp...XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Edited December 14, 2005 by jwjw1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan300 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 looks like i missed it :( The invitation code you entered is invalid, assigned to another person, or else the program is no longer accepting invitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amr_01 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Anyone else having a problem with Apatch? my roomate had a problem with it, he had to reinstall wlm again, and the he ran apatch again, and it worked. i had no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivenDaily Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 It originally wouldnt let me click the 'download button' from Thunderbird, or from Opera...so i had to open the email from IE, and it finally worked. On top of all that, i just saw that jwjw1 had it figured out while i was busy trying to work it out on my own. Overall...messenger live is not much to write home about, but its a nice visual overhaul in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
