| | Block popup for new version Is there any way to block the popup (from systray) about new WLMsgr (ver 14.something) version existing? I'm using ver 8.5 and I after reading these newsgroups about all the problems with it, I've got no intention of upgrading.. (I've got a no-name webcam for which I haven't been able to find any drivers on the web, so have to use the (obsolencent) drivers from the accompanying 3" CD VendorID USB\VID_17A1&PID_0128\5&338467E0&0&2 ) -- Thomas Wendell Helsinki, Finland Translations to/from FI not always accurate |

| | Re: Block popup for new version Greetings Thomas, There are some ways, but they require editing of your Messenger executable and tricking the server -- both which could cause some problems now in the future. I've been working on another method that would be pretty harmless, but I've not gotten it working yet. On the plus side, unlike previous versions, at least it doesn't bring up a whole window every single time that you have to deal with before signing in. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Thomas Wendell" <tumppiw_nospam@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:ergNe93rJHA.3864@xxxxxx Quote: > Is there any way to block the popup (from systray) about new WLMsgr (ver 14.something) > version existing? > I'm using ver 8.5 and I after reading these newsgroups about all the problems with it, I've > got no intention of upgrading.. > (I've got a no-name webcam for which I haven't been able to find any drivers on the web, so > have to use the (obsolencent) drivers from the accompanying 3" CD VendorID > USB\VID_17A1&PID_0128\5&338467E0&0&2 ) > > > > -- > Thomas Wendell > Helsinki, Finland > Translations to/from FI not always accurate > > > > |
