Hi everyone,
I am new in this forum.... Does anyone can tell me :
1) if the window live suite is a free download?
2) I tried to use window messenger but everytime I wanted to go further it always told me that I needed to install the window live suite, then gave me a code: mentioning"catastrophique failure.....

Now, i am desperate and really need your help. Thanks a lot.
Laurencer.

Hello Laurencer, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Yes, all of the Windows Live programs are free from Microsoft. You might try the latest beta version of Windows Live Messenger to see if it works better for you.

To get the most replies to your problem, you might post the problem in a separate post in the Windows Live forum since this thread is only for the Windows Live Suite of programs.

Hope this helps for now,
Shawn

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Actually my biggest problem is: It seemed that the window live messenger was not fully installed which means: I kept receivng the code: 0x8000fff, I tried to figure it out then it told me to download Regcure to get rid of it.. I bought a new webcam which I really wish I will be able to use tomorrow but it didn't work the way I wanted...please help. Thanks a lot.
Laurencer.

Laurencer,

If you haven't already tried, you might see if reinstalling Messenger may help any. I used the beta version, and it works fine for me. Maybe you will have better luck with it.

G'Day Shawn,

I think that you'll now find that with effect from Thurs 8 January 2009, with the exception of Windows Live Movie Maker which remains in beta, that the rest of the Suite of Windows Live Programs were released as Version 2009. It appears as though most have the Build Tag of 14.0.8064.206, although I haven't been able to confirm that it holds true for all of them.

G'Day Rodredrum,

Try this and see how you get on;

Start> Control Panel [Classic View] > Programs and Features > Select "Windows Live Essentials, here;

>User Account Control - Continue, will open this window, here;

Select Repair, then Continue....

Let us know how it goes....I hope it helps..
