What is the newest XP version of Windows Live Messenger? I'm currently using version 2009 Build 14.0.8089.726, and I'm wondering if they ever released a 2010 version? Since this new one for Windows Vista/7 is 2011, I feel like I missed a version. Maybe 2010 was only for Vista/7 as well? Someone shed some light on this please. Thanks!

Wow, been so long since this post I reckon there's no point even answering :laugh:

I will anyway to not be (entirely) rude lol, but I was wondering this myself. I never noticed until about a month ago that there was no 2010 build. On FileHippo it shows a list of previous versions, and a 2010 beta is there, so I'm thinking maybe MS were working on this (2011) build so long they just never managed a 2010 version as well.

Luckily for you 2009 is the newest version for XP :)

thanks for the good work you've put into it ahmz :)

Dc'1 the delay was because whole GUI and thing had been changed and stuff, ahmz had to rework pretty much apatch to work with it why due the delay but he's now sorted it.

This was a fantastic way to hear about the new QFE. ;) Hopefully the Messenger team cleared up some of the obvious bugs they shipped with.

Edit: Oddly enough, I can't seem to download the new WLM build from anywhere. Every time I try a link to it I end up getting 0922 from Microsoft's servers.. :/

Edit2: NM. Microsoft's bad I guess; the files have the wrong build number but they are the QFE regardless.

I love you A-Patch but please remove that religion BS from it. Because honestly I hate people shoving religion on others in any form.

He created this (free might I add) patch, he is allowed to have whatever text displayed on install. If you dont like it, dont install this patch! Simple. I dont see any form of 'shoving' going on. Not anymore than the countless popup/ adverts you see everywhere else on the net.

Perhaps you can pay him a small fee to make a customized installer for you? Just an idea.

Peace.

QFE?

Thanks for the update, ahmz.

Why doesn't WLM auto update, or have the option to check for updates? Aresholes.

A couple of new features added thanks to Erazor. Also, some minor bug fixes.

Feature: Disable Photo Sharing

Feature: Disable Video Sharing

I'm just curious as to what benefit there is to disabling these 2 things?

Hate to sound like a broken record but I'm still unable to shrink the contact window down to a small enough size.

Is there something hard-coded that prevents sizing below a minimum value (287 pixels wide by 496 pixels high)? Or am I the only one bothered by this?

Appreciate the work on build 13 but this is driving me crazy.

The major benefit is that Messenger won't decide to open up a full-window photo share UI when all you really wanted to do was share a link to an image.

Hi, I don't know any way around this.

Doesn't work for me. I have disabled photo sharing, but dragging photos onto the chat or pasting clipboard photos still initiates photo sharing. Using 15.4.3502.922, which was just updated to that as latest. The supported version according to the site (15.4.3508.1109) seems to indicate it should work for me. Why doesn't it?

I ensured it was a clean copy and updated to the latest version that the Essentials installer will allow.

Do the other options work for you?

Yep, everything is fine. It's just the Photo sharing that doesn't seem to do anything. Can't explain it.

I just experienced an even worse event I didn't know it started with, which made me come back to this thread. I pasted a link to an image and (HORROR!) the photo sharing started even for that! Damn!

Edit: Looks like this person's having the same issue: http://apatch.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7

Hey Ahmz!

I've been following you since Msn Messenger 8.0 times, from then you've made Msn more useful. Thanks for that, god bless you. But I'm having problems with the latest patch, about wlm 2011. I patched msn, everything works fine except Photo&Video sharing. All the ads are gone etc. but i still can't drag&drop, or c/p my pics to the reciever.

I hope you'll write soon & bring a solution with you :)

Thanks a lot.

Cankat, Istanbul.

    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
