bruNo_ Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I was having the same problem after installing the beta, so I cleaned my cache using ccleaner and its working fine now. Sorry but, didn't work too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxx333 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I found solution to big cpu usage in WLPG, go to options and disable face recognization, this was the reason of this problem :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMPSBL Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Is there any way to disable the "social" panel on the left? I don't use either facebook, myspace or any other social network and I really don't have use for it.. THe layout is AWFUL in my opinion, reverting back to previous version or better yet, Pidgin :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THe layout is AWFUL in my opinion, reverting back to previous version or better yet, Pidgin :) There's an icon in the top-right to close the Social Pane, but tbh, if you don't "do" social networking then this version of WLM offers very little over the previous one.

HawkMan Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I found solution to big cpu usage in WLPG, go to options and disable face recognization, this was the reason of this problem :D It seemed rather obvious. Face rec. is awesome though, and once it's gone through your library it'll stop using cpu. except right as you import new photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamwhoiam Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 but tbh, if you don't "do" social networking then this version of WLM offers very little over the previous one. People may as well get used to it now, as it will be a forced upgrade at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightShadow Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 People may as well get used to it now, as it will be a forced upgrade at some point. For everyone on Vista SP2 and 7 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von kain Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 what's is really nice is the integration of live sync(ex -name mesh) and the skydrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revanmj Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 what's is really nice is the integration of live sync(ex -name mesh) and the skydrive. They are not really integrated. The only integration between these services is "View synced folders" link on the SkyDrive main page. Storage is separated, you can't copy or move files between SkyDrive and synced folders and you can't edit synced files in Web Office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 People may as well get used to it now, as it will be a forced upgrade at some point. For everyone on Vista SP2 and 7 anyway. Lol. How so? True that it only runs on Vista and 7, but I can't find anywhere where it says that you won't be able to use WLM14 instead. Heck, for XP users it's not even an option. So I'd like to see where Microsoft indicated that to use Messenger on Vista and 7 you must use the latest version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I meant everyone on 7 and Vista SP2 will be forced to Upgrade. XP and SP1 can use the old version fine as long as they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 No, I meant everyone on 7 and Vista SP2 will be forced to Upgrade. XP and SP1 can use the old version fine as long as they want. Again, how so? I've read nothing about forcing Vista and 7 users to use the latest version. Stands to reason that if XP users can only use WLM 14, then Vista/7 users can too. Do you have a link to a statement from Microsoft contrary to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solixis Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I think it was mentioned in the release that it will only support Vista up, XP will not be supported I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zmijutin Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I had this annoying error on my laptop. Try manually enabling the Windows Firewall service via services.msc. Install the software then disable it afterwards. Seems the installer is looking for this, no idea why :wacko: That worked! Thank you very much! We got better troubleshooting than MS himself :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightShadow Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Wish MS would stop moving everything to the Web... To change your name... You have to use the Web Inferface... Now even to change contact details! (Like add phone numbers etc) instead of doing it in app, you have to go to the Live Site... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashmir Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Although the ads in Messenger are already ridiculous (yes, yes, it's free, but it ain't like Microsoft is almost bankrupt or something, and still, they got Windows, Office and the Windows Live Web Services), but now I also just received a pop up which asks to set Bing as the default search engine and MSN as the homepage, with them all of course already selected. It's just too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now even to change contact details! (Like add phone numbers etc) instead of doing it in app, you have to go to the Live Site... Do you not think it's best for them to just have one place to edit settings which are shown across the whole of Windows Live? Especially for idiotic users which make up most of the 'average user' group. Although the ads in Messenger are already ridiculous (yes, yes, it's free, but it ain't like Microsoft is almost bankrupt or something, and still, they got Windows, Office and the Windows Live Web Services), but now I also just received a pop up which asks to set Bing as the default search engine and MSN as the homepage, with them all of course already selected. It's just too much. I can understand why you'd find ads annoying but the pop-up suggesting you change your search engine and home page? A lot of people will not think to change those to what Microsoft suggest so it's good promotion and you can always just cancel it, selecting the option you currently have or desire. Plus... it only comes up once. My gosh, some people really do complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like it, and they already pushed it at the end of the Windows Live installation (and come on, these settings are IE defaults, maybe I changed them for a reason...)

McDave Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 For those asking about an offline installer, you can retreive the msi installer files after you have installed the suite. These are located...
