Updated: Windows Live Essentials RC RELEASED


Recommended Posts

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

ye but when u run in vista or xp mode doesnt integrate with 7 jump list just fixed where when u run normal has that window but everything is integrated no icon in tray status changes in bar and jumplist is fully functional

Works fine for me with the Jump Lists and Vista Mode.

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)

    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
    • Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
    • They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
