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.

    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

      I think every American should have a course in a 'dry sense of humour' at school; and perhaps 'using sarcasm in jest' oh, and also 'the use or irony in humour'.
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
