Sorry the links didn't work for you. I tested them again and they work from my end. The only thing I noticed was that I had to uninstall and reinstall the add-ons I had for them to work again. (EX: SweetIM) Probably best to uninstall the whole thing then reinstall the new version. It looks pretty much the same except for a few minor changes here and there. Shawn | |||||||||||||||

Location: Texas, USA | Re: Live Messenger 8.5 beta Your welcome Adam, I did notice that the SweetIM add-on stops sending items with the 8.5 beta. I'm just going to uninstall SweetIM and go to Smiley Central instead. Shawn Nope, Smiley Central didn't work on the 8.5 beta either, only on the IE7 toolbar. |

Location: Texas, USA | Re: Live Messenger 8.5 beta Hi Danny, The new installer program to install the Windows Live Beta 2 programs does not work for the 64 bit Vista yet. You will have to download the individual MSI installer program for it to install on the 64 bit Vista instead. Take a look here for the download information: http://www.vistax64.com/windows-live/92348-windows-live-beta-2-suite-downloads.html Shawn |
