Worked fine for me. Make sure you are doing it un an unpatched Windows Live Messenger. In other words uninstall completely and erase the folder in C:/ProgramFiles as well and reinstall. Then try again.

Nope, Live Messenger now says that it can not connect. :sleep:

This has rumoured to be fake. More info can be found at Messenger Stuff website: http://www.msgstuff.com/

Maybe the new beta design was an April Fools?

Hum looks like those two new screenshots of the new Windows Live Messenger design could have been an early April Fools joke. If you look at them closely, you can see some obvious flaws in the design, which suggests they were not real. By now we would have expected a leak or some news from the live team but not yet which is very strange but they still maybe real and if they are, it sure is good news to me.

Everyone seems to want that design; well a small skin to slightly change Windows Live Messenger to look like that has been released thanks to the skinner, Monkey. It actually looks really good, and although it is mainly focused on the contact list, it looks like the real thing. If you want to uninstall you will have to uninstall Windows Live Messenger, and then reinstall it again. Enjoy!

sorry for this newbie question, but did WLM get rid of the hover thing over contacts option?

Yes, they did.

it was only build .614 that was fake, the screenshots posted on liveside.net are genuine and are the final UI. build 614 was a skin designed to look like the screenshots released on liveside.

That's a relief :yes: . I hope that WLM can go on to be something that it is even bigger than before. I'm eagerly waiting for the next version of WLM :cool: .

As I said ...It's just a fake... Aprils fool's day...

Fake Windows Live Messenger adapts previewed interface

dwergs says:

To put an end to the flow of people reporting this in vain, I'm informing that the "leaked" Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0614 version going around on download sites, is in fact a fake build doctored by one of our forum members as an April Fools joke (1 and 4 stand for the first of the fourth month). Here's a good tip: never trust a build without an installer.

Call v8.0.0614 a hoax, but it's also a good attempt at recreating the brand new Windows Live Messenger interface we previewed last week. Thumbs up to Monkey for the job.

Mess.be forum threads about the fake leak:

>> New build or skin

>> WLM 8.0.0614 Leaked!

>> Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0614 LEAKED

Yes we know that the "build" that was released was a fake but the design wasn't. It was based off of the screenshots.

Call v8.0.0614 a hoax, but it's also a good attempt at recreating the brand new Windows Live Messenger interface we previewed last week.

So the design is real, the leak is not.

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.
    • I lived and breathed MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies The main developer of Messenger Plus!, Cyril aka.

    • Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area
