cpu121 Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) I've just received an invite for WLM beta, however the link in email takes me to a page where it says "Now all you need to do is download and sign in." However the button that I'm guessing is supposed to be the link to download WLM doesn't work (just plain text, no hyperlink to anywhere). I've downloaded WLM from the main Ideas page, but how do I go about reporting this site issue to MS as there doesn't appear to be any Contact Us links/bug reports (Bug reports are sent from within WLM I guess?) Secondly, does installing WLM affect MSN Messenger - since only my passport account is signed up for WLM, it means other members of the family can't use WLM, and therefore they'll want to be able to continue using WLM anyway? EDIT: Found answer to 2nd question. Edited December 30, 2005 by cpu121 Link to post Share on other sites
Ivan_B Share Posted December 30, 2005 That sucks, I never had any invities. And you are not going to any time soon. Let's get it straight: 1st Gen WLmers: Official BETA Testers 2st Gen WLMers: Friends of those 1st Gen WLMers. Those Second Generation WLMers won't get any invites, only the Official Beta Testers.

benjaminzsj Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) Anyone else having a problem with Apatch? I had this problem. I guess it's because I auto updated to the newest version instead of a fresh install before I apply the patch. Can those non beta testers see my meego DP? EDIT: No use even if I reinstall the latest version. Edited December 30, 2005 by Staind Link to post Share on other sites
Venkat2cool Share Posted December 30, 2005 Hey guys.... You dont need an invite to use Windows Live Mail Beta. I found a crack/cheat method to it. 1. Log in to your hotmail account. 2. Right-click on the following link and select Properties: http://by101fd.bay101.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-...20030b2b6bb98c8 3. Copy the complete text in the "Address (URL)" field. Please note that the URL is very long. You may have to drag the text to select the complete URL. 4. Paste the copied URL in the addess bar of the same window where hotmail is open and press ENTER. 5. Thats it!!! You are ready to test "Windows Live Mail Beta" Cheers! Venkat Link to post Share on other sites
Zionyx Share Posted December 30, 2005 You know, it would be really funny if that link above was the link to leave the beta or something. As it happens, I belive that it is, in fact, real. But I'm not really sure... gmail user after all. Link to post Share on other sites
Chewbob Share Posted December 30, 2005 I'm a bit confused about something. Last night a member of the beta invited me to join, and I accepted. However, this morning I received an e-mail from Microsoft, also inviting me to the beta. Is this something that happens after joining or is this a second invitation? When I click the link in the e-mail it says that I'm already joined up, so would I be able to use this invitation on a different passport account? Link to post Share on other sites

The invitation from Microsoft can be used ONCE. This will give you access to the beta section on Connect, newsgroups, beta chat, etc etc. This is a lot more 'special' than the user-invitations. The user-invitation will give you access to use the beta, thats about it. The advantage of this is that it can be re-used - if you go to ideas.live.com, choose 'Leave this beta', you can then re-use the invitation code. If you've got a second account, might be a good place to use it. Or send it to a friend. Be careful about what you do, I got caught out here. Link to post Share on other sites

After using the Microsoft invitation, if you leave the beta can the invitation code be used again? I used the invitation on another account of mine but I'd much rather use it on my main account. So in a way, I'm asking if it's possible to 'swap' the invitations around by leaving the beta on both accounts, and then rejoining it by using the same invitations but on different accounts? Hope that makes sense. Edit: Never mind, noticed that you said the Microsoft invitation can be used once. Oh well :p Edited December 30, 2005 by Chewbob Link to post Share on other sites
benjaminzsj Share Posted December 30, 2005 I think I've solved the "wrong windows image" problem, just replace the file with the a-patch backup for it and it's done. The messenger will be patched and no error so far. Link to post Share on other sites

Hope that makes sense. Edit: Never mind, noticed that you said the Microsoft invitation can be used once. Oh well :p It doesn't work that way. The Microsoft invites are indeed "special"- you can "swap" them around, but NOTHING- repeat NOTHING will give you access to Connect again if you leave the program in Connect. You can use your first-gen invite as a second-gen invite if you change it around. Link to post Share on other sites
