A-Patch for Windows Live Messenger 2012


Recommended Posts

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.

Quick Fix Engineering(same as hotfix)

updates for live get served by windows update . it take a while before it show tho.

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.

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.

    • Crazy. The government fired everyone who was capable of actually understanding this. More security theater. Just checked it is gone from Claude.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
