Windows Live Messenger (9) 2009 (14.0.5027.908) released


Recommended Posts

For anyone that is using the new WLM 9 Beta, When you click on the E-mail button (the big envelope).. does it load up www.msn.com home page or does it load up their inbox directly?

Sadly and annoyingly mine loads up www.msn.com even though it notifies me when there is mail :s

Anyone else have this problem? Also the default colour doesnt spread over IM Windows.. meaning you have to impliment the colors yourself, anyone else have that issue?

other than that I am impressed, yes I know its still in Beta

Hi!

Can you guys make Messenger Plus! Live work with this release (14.0.5027.908)? I download the latest one from their official site (www.msgpluslive.net), I install it, but nothing happens! There isn't any sign of the Plus! to be installed. Why not? Their webpage says that this version (v4.70.334) supports the latest WLM9 beta, but it doesn't! I use the english version, so it should work I belive.

Please help me if you can!

Thanks!

I think that can be better answered at Messenger Plus! forums. Simply go to the Messenger Plus! site and click help. You will see a link for their community forums.

Yes. Most retarded thing ever.

I have experienced the following:

"Some" BLOCKED USERS can make contact with you :o I was being harassed by some (well nevermind who)

Blocked contacts sometimes appear as unblocked (although in parentheses it says quite clearly they are indeed blocked)

While sending files, nothing appears. You usually fix it by closing and reopening the window. (other user must do the same)

When a friend closes the chat window, mine closes as well. I guess you could call it a feature xD

as well as some minor ones:

Personal Message will often duplicate the use of emoticons used in your message.

Email notification (toast) does not work.

Sign me out everwhere doesn't work.

Allow automatic signin doesn't connect.

Windows Live Today doesn't appear.

I reported them already, lets hope for results :)

I didn't get any of these problems, mine works fine. The only one I got which you suggested was when it appears that some blocked users are available even though it says blocked (& I still cannot speak to them). I have also had the custom emoticon bug, but none of the ones you suggested.

I imagine other people haven't had the same bugs as you as nothing else like that seems to have been reported.

I am using Windows Vista Home Premium by the way.

I've experienced only few bugs here and there.

No custom emotions (which is good... tell me if you want I'll give you one girl's email, chat few minutes with her and let me know if you understand what she was saying (she has emotion for everything)), no ability to hide contacts' pictures...

To me if feels much faster and more good-looking than the 8.5 version.

Are you a-patched ?

Any one else getting those "every hour" crashes in Vista 32?

I had to go back to 8.5.

I have had no crashes with it yet :)

I noticed that if you have IE as your default browser it corrects this.

Or if you use Windows Live Mail, the link opens up Windows Live Mail (& it is much quicker than it opening a browser window to go to the Windows Live Hotmail website. In fact, I don't see why more people don't check out Windows Live Mail - it is amazing for mail & RSS feeds.

Are you a-patched ?

I am using A-Patch on it & again I have had none of the problems that person described (Windows Vista Home Premium 32-Bit)

I didn't say a-patch would cause the problems :)

but it might do it, coudl be dependant on what you patch and the rest of the system. but if he has used a-patch then his bug reports are next to useless. unless he unpatches and has the same error.

my a-patched version hasn't had any issues either, well except when I had it set to polygami it would disconnect a lot, and then spawn another wlm sessio to reconnect :) not having much use for polygami I just disbled it.

Thanks for update, about the security, what have been updated...? What new and what bugs fixed?

Anyone, please share...

What security update?

I hope there is an update - the new Messenger has so many bugs, but I have to continue using it (now I've been teased into using these amazing new features :p). It would be good to hav an update to fix many of the major bugs.

    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations by Usama Jawad Microsoft began integrating Copilot into Excel a couple of years ago and has been upgrading it with new functionalities since then. While some changes have been controversial, Microsoft is hoping to win over users by allowing them to be more productive via Copilot. To that end, it has now announced a Copilot improvement that may actually be appreciated by people who use it regularly. Excel customers often use the Copilot prompt box to issue instructions to format and customize their data, but it can become quite tiring to keep repeating the same instructions again and again. Microsoft now allows you to define Copilot personalization rules for formatting, naming conventions, formulas, and report styles. These can be accessed via Settings > Personalization, where you can explain your rules in natural language like "Always format currency in USD with no decimals", and just let Copilot take care of the rest. Microsoft is going a step further in this direction by allowing you to set workbook rules too. These rules are stored as a .Rules sheet, and are preserved while the workbook is shared. This fosters collaboration while making sure that standard rules govern the Copilot editing experience across the organization. Other advantages of this capability include pointing it to specific examples, defining dynamic formulas, and referencing an entire sheet and asking Copilot to infer rules based on that. You can leverage this feature by opening Copilot in Excel, clicking on "+", and selecting Create workbook rules. If you have an existing .Rules sheet, you can simply start listing the rules in column A as well. Personalization features are available to all Copilot in Excel users across the web, Mac, and Windows. Meanwhile, workbook rules are currently being previewed for Windows and Mac customers on the Insiders channel. General availability is scheduled after a few weeks, but a concrete date is currently unknown. Overall, the Excel capability is quite similar to ChatGPT's memory features, which allow you to permanently store items in the AI model's context window.
    • Imagine you still haven't discovered Total Commander that is doing all those things for three decades already...
    • This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
