Hello, I don't agree with "The bottom line is that if you're running MSN Messenger or even an older version of Windows Live Messenger itself, you must upgrade. There's no avoiding that." let me tell you why. I did NOT upgrade, and I'm simply running in compatibility mode. I don't mind bottom lines when they are actually at the bottom.
Thanks,
Joe

I hate the new Window's Live Messenger, why can't I go back to 9.0 or whatever I was using before? I'd be okay with the new one if it didn't have all the news shit on the left, that's what bugs me, I don't like it there, I don't want it there and I can't get rid of it.. Any advice?

Try using a different program enturely like Trillian or Pidgin - you can use your Windows Live Messenger account with those too.

Hi Leo,

You state that MS has addressed a serious vulnerability with the upgrade. Further you note that you use Trillian, which I think has awesome capabilities. My question is regarding whether or not Trillian has been safeguarded against the same vulnerabilities that MS 'fixed'. Thanks in advance and have a great day.

This is a fairly old article, so I'm sure that all have moved on past the vulnerabilities of the time. However it's important to note that in general just because one IM client has a vulnerability does not imply that the others do as well. Since they are completely separate programs they will in general have completely separate bugs, issues and vulnerabilities not related to one another.

Why can't we use a separate contact box with messenger(like before) from whole windows live page---with all other headings??? Or is there a way I can get it loaded??

Why ask Leo when he doesn't know... there is a easy way of keeping the old msn. You jusk right click, select propties, then Compatibility, than you select Microsoft server 2003... Trust me it will work :D don't ask Leo, he doesn't know everything :D :D :D sorry for bad language, I am not english :P

The reason I have msn is that when I upgraded to internet explorer it was a night mare and then I lost it everything. I couldn't get on line to internet thru 8 and the qwest and they said to go to msn and it worked now I am told I have to upgrade or I will not be able to get my emails etc. Will the upgrade make me lose everything again.

Leo didn't mention one VERY important thing from the beginning, which could have saved many of us so must frustration early on. For example, "WHAT IF I HAVE WINDOWS XP AND DOWNLOAD THE NEW MSN MESSENGER UPGRADE AND AFTER THAT A MESSAGE POPS UP STATING THAT MY OPERATING SYSTEM DOES NOT SUPPORT THE PROGRAMS INSTALLED" The first thing to do is go directly to the microsoft.com website and in their search box type in 7.0 messenger. Try downloading the 7.0 upgrade. It should work perfectly on most older XP Home Edition models if all else failed. I am surprised Leo wasn't specific about this. Perhaps he just didn't know himself. Of well.

http://patched-up.blogspot.com/2007/10/running-msn-messenger-75.html

This site explains how to make your MSN Messenger 7.5 work without updating...

It is possible, it's just not as "safe" as stated above.

I downloaded and am now, as I am typing, using MSN Messenger 7.5

You can also download other versions of MSN Messenger from this site

Thanks PTK. Upgraded my messenger to latest version which is a piece of $#*&. Uninstalled and reinstalled old version but it would always try to force me to upgrade. By using PTK's suggestions I manage to use v8.x now by using it in windows 2000 compatibility mode. Kudos to PTK.

PTK is right!!!!

Simply "install MSN MEssenger 7.5. After insallation, shut down the program, browse to msnmsgr.exe (usually under C: -> Program Files -> MSN MESSENGER -> msnmsgr.exe) Then right click on the file and chose Properties -> Compatibility -> Chose "Run this program in compatibility mode for" Windows 2000. Then start up msnmsgr.exe again and it will "rebuild" and not ask to download new version again." It WORKS!!!

You can actually still use MSN Messenger 7.5. There is a trick. First install MSN MEssenger 7.5. After insallation, shut down the program, browse to msnmsgr.exe (usually under C: -> Program Files -> MSN MESSENGER -> msnmsgr.exe) Then right click on the file and chose Properties -> Compatibility -> Chose "Run this program in compatibility mode for" Windows 2000. Then start up msnmsgr.exe again and it will "rebuild" and not ask to download new version again.

There might be some vulnerabilities in MSN Messenger, but I have not noticed anything yet and I chose to take the chance, as I'm very carefull with what I do.

Thanks for setting up this site! I use Trillian and since I switched from Hotmail/MSN Messenger to Windows Live Messenger a while back, Messenger shows as being logged off. When I click on the icon, I am brought to the Windows Live login page, where my login name is set but I am asked for my password. I use XP sp2 and Firefox. Same issue on both PCs. I have never used Trillian on the PC I am typing this message on.

I did the upgrade, which I didn't want to but anyways, now I can't see any of my contact pictures when I view my contacts list. If I open a chat session I see their pic. On the old version I could see everybody's pic when viewing my contact list. I've set my options to show all contact pictures, doesn't make a difference.

Help please.

I have Windows 2000 on the machine I use for chatting, so no "Windows 2000 compatibility" needed for me, but my messenger 7 refused to connect anyway.
I searched and found the solution involving build 820 and installed it, and yes: it now connects, but every time I start the program, appears a warning "Windows is repairing msn messenger" before lauinching the program itself.

Actually if you goto the MSN Messenger Folder and right click msnmsgr.exe then choose RUN THIS PROGRAM IN COMPATIBILTY MODE and choose Win2000 you will then be able to re-install an older version of MSN.
Windows Live Messenger only works with WinXP and Vista so only those people using those Operating Systems are being forced to UPGRADE.
Hope that helps :)

As I described somewhere on http://www.mess.be, there's still a way to stick to MSN Messenger although it's a bit of a "back to the future" solution.

See, Microsoft released a new version of MSN Messenger 7.0 (build 820) that ISN'T vulnerable to the recently discovered webcam exploit.

You'll have to uninstall Windows Live Messenger 8.x first and then download (and install) 7.0 from the following location: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=cf49c56c-8b3e-4eae-9904-9505f47bed45&DisplayLang=en

Interesting thing happened with Live Messenger yesterday.I was in a chat and I used the term 'gotcha'. My partner left the computer for a minute and next thing I know someone/something got into my chat window and sent all kinds of links that had the same term in it! It even said I had done a search... which I hadn't. I uninstalled it and now have updated to new version. BTW, I didnt click on any link. Have you ever heard of such a thing happening?
