Some of it works, but it doesn't work 100% so it's best to un-install so it doesn't create problems :).

Ah, ok. Thanks for the information. I wonder if Patchou will release a version that's fully compatible with the RC.

Has Windows Live Movie Maker's feaure set outgrown regular Movie Maker's yet?

I sure hope so. The beta seemed pretty limited feature wise.

ye jumplist still work but with vista mode dont see the status inside of the super bar or for example in vista mode right click and look at the jumplist when you are signed in says "sign in", but without compatibility mode every thing is integrated in the super bar. when you are signed in and you right click you will see the jumplist change to signed out etc pretty cool

Can you install it over your beta or should I un-install everything first ?

The installer will automatically install the updates, but there's no harm in uninstalling first :).

Is it RC o final? :huh:

RC :). Final due out in January.

As far as I know he has no plans on updating to this RC build seeing as though the final build is going to be released in January.

This is me probably being nitpicky, but I think they should of given you the option to show the display pictures either on the left or right side of the conversation window. I'll probably get used to them being on the left side eventually, but I'm just so used to seeing them on the right side.

It's possible to be moved back to the right side via a Messenger Plus! Live skin. A skinner was able to do it and released a very simplistic skin a month ago, click here for more information.

Thanks, but unfortunately, it's only compatible with an earlier build it seems.

In Windows 7, what's the point of having 2 entries for Live Messenger in the superbar? Is there a way to disable the one that just shows your avatar as a thumbnail?

You'll have to ask the Messenger team about that. My understanding is that they add the user tile window basically as a replacement for the tray icon. However, remember that we haven't even released the beta of Win7 yet and this is very early integration, so of course this design could change, especially if you give the Messenger guys lots of feedback about what you like and don't like :)

Perhaps the Messenger blog would be a good place to do that? http://messengersays.spaces.live.com/blog/

For some reason, they changed the "New Alert" sound back to the original one, but all the other sounds are new.

Edit: They still kept the sounds too quiet. I wish they would fix that. Hopefully in the final build.

On my way to download it. The GUI is Perfect as Live Installer says that I found a quite similar bug that Live Installer asked me to shut down a software that is not relevant to Windows Live Product. Sound's a big problem might turn off the program of .Net Framework 2 (Platform for .Net Framework 2)

Skin for your Wave 3.

    • O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104

      By Copernic · Posted

      O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 by Razvan Serea O&O ShutUp10 offers a simple yet effective way to take control of your Windows privacy. It provides access to almost 50 privacy-related tweaks, most of them hidden or not easily accessible to the average computer users. Using a very simple interface, you decide how Windows 10/11 should respect your privacy by deciding which unwanted functions should be deactivated. Using ShutUp10 you can easily disable Windows Defender, turn off telemetry, disable peer-to-peer updates, turn off Wi-Fi Sense, disable automatic Windows updates, turn off and reset Cortana and more. ShutUp10 allows you to create a System Restore point before you apply any changes, so that you can revert your system at any time if you run into problems. O&O ShutUp10 is entirely free and does not have to be installed – it can be simply run directly and immediately on your PC. And it will not install or download retrospectively unwanted or unnecessary software, like so many other programs do these days! O&O ShutUp10 Free and Premium The latest version brings O&O ShutUp10 Premium, expanding the app’s long-standing privacy controls with automatic enforcement of user-defined settings. Instead of manually rechecking options after every Windows update, users can set their preferred privacy configuration once—or apply recommended settings in a single click—and the tool continuously monitors them in the background. If Windows 10 or 11 re-enables disabled features or introduces new data collection paths, Premium restores the chosen settings automatically without user intervention. The free version remains available and fully functional for manual adjustments, offering the same core privacy controls for Windows. However, the Premium tier is aimed at users who want long-term, hands-off protection, adding automatic reapplication after updates, ongoing monitoring, and optional notifications to ensure privacy settings remain consistent over time. O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 changelog: Added “Show Differences” button in the overview panel “Don’t show again” option for the restore point prompt Ctrl+F keyboard shortcut for search/filter functionality Detection and linking of system-wide and user-specific setting associations Automatic search while typing PREM: Option to preserve notification counters and timestamps across application restarts PREM: Reset blocked settings button in the Settings dialog PREM: Informational message when no settings are blocked PREM: Update check can also be triggered from the menu PREM: Notification deduplication and activity log summary feature Improved L005 “Disable Windows Location Service”: Version-specific split (up to Windows 11 23H2) and new variant for Windows 11 24H2+ L001 (Disable Location): Added Night Light warning to the description in all languages Search now detects setting IDs even when ID display is disabled and offers to enable it Detection and removal of Copilot/AI desktop apps in RecallTerminator Optimized High DPI support PREM: Reset button is now only enabled when blocked items exist – setting IDs are shown in the confirmation dialog PREM: Updated tray icons with higher-resolution versions PREM: Activity Log timestamps now use localized date and time formats PREM: Tray icon status now uses OK/Warning indicators and localized tooltips PREM: Recall folder detection switched to service-based detection PREM: Copilot uninstallation now provides UI feedback and improved verification Fixed Description text was not displayed correctly for the last item and disappeared when clicking the scrollbar Crash when clicking a search result heading or the […] button PREM: Installation path is now correctly preserved during upgrades PREM: Tray icon was not reliably removed when exiting the application PREM: Main window was not displayed correctly in single-instance mode PREM: Incorrect display of the & symbol in tray icon tooltips on Windows 10 PREM: Fixed notification flooding after sleep/standby PREM: Dashboard was not refreshed after applying recommended settings during onboarding PREM: Progress bar was not reset after deleting Recall folders PREM: Fixed service startup failures PREM: Fixed incorrect drift detection when Automatic Protection was disabled PREM: Notifications now correctly count all deviating settings when protection is enabled PREM: Registration Wizard was shown after sleep/standby despite a valid license Download: O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 | 76.4 MB (Freeware) Download: O&O ShutUp10 32-bit | ARM64 View: O&O ShutUp10 Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      By +Edouard · Posted

      In the past few days I have noticed two odd moderation activities. First, when I posted the term 'White Nationist Christian' it was asterisk's out. When I changed it to **** it was allowed! Second, in the Politics is a ###business thread I was allowed to post that the GOP is a party of p e d ophiles but I was censored  when I posted the GOP are a party of p e d ophile protectors. Wtf Neowin. Please explain.
