| | Re: WLM 9 / Live Today Window / can't change the location Greetings Ben, In some locales you can actually edit the location directly in the Today window with an Edit City link, although I'm sure you would've seen that option if it were available. But, the "locale" that I'm mentioning here is determined in your address information in your Live ID profile, which you can edit here: https://account.live.com/EditProf.aspx -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Ben" <benbxl176@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:FEEF55DC-1737-46B0-B235-A2DB965BC5D4@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi, > > I've just installed WLM 9 Beta. > I noticed that the weather and the location are not correct. > Any idea how to change that? > > Thanks for your help. > > Ben |

| | Re: WLM 9 / Live Today Window / can't change the location Hi Ben, This sounded weird to me, so I did some more testing by setting my own account to Brussels. It showed me the today page in Dutch but still showed Toronto. After that shut down Messenger, cleared my Internet Explorer cookies, started up Messenger and magically the city changed to Brussels. As such, try clearing your IE cookies and see what kind of results you get. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Ben" <benbxl176@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:B986EB2D-B531-4F24-833F-BFDFA4BED17F@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi Jonathan, > > I do appreciate your replying to my post. > > I don't have the option "Edit City" in the Today Window. > > Moreover, it is quite weird as in my ID profile, the address mentioned is Brussels and I've > got the local weather of Paris... > > Is it maybe due to the fact that WLM 9 is a beta version? > > Thanks for your help. > > Ben > > "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" <msnewsreplies@xxxxxx> a écrit dans le message de groupe de > discussion : OwykIu8PJHA.3932@xxxxxx...
