Hi.
On the computer of an acquaintance, the following problem
persistently
occurs. Whenever she signs in to live messenger,
she is notified that she is signed in at multiple locations. No
matter
how she tries, she can't sign off at the other location.
I've even tried to change the option in the preferences of live
messenger to sign out at all other locations whenever she signs in,
but that doesn't help either.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Also, one more thing that mystifies me is how you can change the
language settings in live messenger, so the words in the interface
are
all in a language of your preference?
I need to be able to switch languages easily, because I often need to
make screenshots in various languages and when I ask for help about
settings in an english newsgroup or forum, I need the english
language
in the interface, so people can understand what preferences are used.
Kind regards and thanks in advance for any suggestions, Niek

Greetings,

It doesn't really sound legitimate that she's signing into multiple locations. Out of
curiosity, what happens if your acquaintance signs in using another computer at a different
location? There's no real specific issue that would cause this to happen really.

Regarding the language thing, Messenger uses a single DLL for language localization, which in
the latest version is msgslang.14.0.8089.0726.dll in the Messenger folder. As such, if you
collect all the DLLs (sorry I don't know anyone hosting this at this time) from all the
language installs, you can copy over the one you want prior to starting Messenger and get the
interface in the language you desire "on demand".

She said the problems started when she checked her email at a
different location and she might
have clicked on some option inadvertently (perhaps on some sort of
option to automatically sign in at that location) or forgot to sign
out there.

I'll try to follow up on this the next time, but it might take a while
before I get a chance to see if she can test it out.

Ah ok great. I'll probably be able to obtain the DLL for the English
interface.
