Windows Live Essentials 'beta' out now!


Recommended Posts

Now it seems that no one in my contact list can see me online nor can get my messages!

what the hell microsoft? this beta is at an alpha quality at best!

Well, I managed to install it on my laptop, but not on my work's desktop. Here's the error:

Any ideas?

Get the Windows Install Cleanup utility, erase the windows live messenger entry for all users, try to install the beta again.

This is a known issue and I am having the same issue as well. What I did to fix it is to toss all of my

contacts into a category (or multiple categories) and then right click the category name and choose

'Appear online to everyone in this category.'

It appears that there is a scenario where everyone on your list is set to 'Appear offline'. Once it's

set, you should be good to go.

Good Luck!

Gonna try on monday, I'm not going to connect to work's machine now just to install WLM. LOL

No problems on my laptop and desktop here at home. Weird... :blink:

^ Yea, I'd try the Windows Install Cleanup utility sanctified suggested, good chance that will catch it.

i found this:

0x80040609,. %x09.06.04.80. HasMessages. A folder cannot be deleted because it still contains messages. (MAPI_E_HAS_MESSAGES, ecFolderHasContents)

0x80070643 is a generic error.

Anyone know if its possible to get the individual *.msi files? I have messenger too customized to go to a beta/buggy release, but i would like to test out the Photo Gallery without installing messenger.

at the beta site there is a link right by the main download that you download to choose what you want to install

I'm still having this problem that the video call option is greyed out and the video message option is missing,it's not there on my messenger.I tried to repair and uninstalled and reinstalled like 3 times and they doesn't show.I did the audio and video setup and it sees the webcam but i still can't video call,i really hate this :(

I like the app, but hate the massive intrusive ads.

I only have a small ad on the bottom-right corner of the main window, and a text ad on the bottom of the chat window. Where are you seeing massive ads? :o

Yes, Azies, where are these massive intrusive ads you speak of? :s

The installer doesn't support it. Already tried. ;)

Yea i know, the problem is with what i do not want to install\upgrade. (Messenger)post-89302-12775101968628.png

@Ci7: Yea that is rather annoying they removed that

One thing, Just saw that Microsoft posted on the help boards that they are releasing a version to fix some FB bugs etc next week. So will they be updating to fix other problems to? I wonder if it will require a new download/upgrade within or something.

EDIT: Good news for the Facebook bug!

"We have tracked down the root cause of this problem and we're currently working on a fix. This feature should start working again over the weekend.

Sorry about any problems this has caused."

From Dare on the forums. So we just be getting a fix and be able to post Facebook statuses from it! :D

Hey guys,i noticed another bug..When i sign out from messenger and exit,its process still running.If i dont terminate it and open messenger again,it will sign in automatically.The funny is that if i close it again and check task manager,now there are 2 processes of messenger still running.If i do it for third time happens the same,forth time etc.Anyone else can confirm this?I noticed it on my two laptops.

Does anyone know how to change your nickname? I can only find options for full name... So I change mine using the older version on my other computer, lol.

Go into the Options and click "Edit Name". There are no more nicknames just full names.

Nope, got removed from WLM 2010. And is getting discontinued as stated earlier in the thread. So anyone else about the Badge problem?

basically i don't went it to remember my password

just the address

there is no way now

I believe there is. If you don't tick that box and just sign in with different IDs, they should be saved in the drop-down list which is the email address field?

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
