Win7 users: Don't install Windows Live Essentials 2011 beta!
« on: October 24, 2010, 08:21:30 AM »
it's incomplete or corrupted beta, stops your MSN messenger etc from working properly, and only way to get rid of it is doing a system restoration.  :facepalm: :banghead:

My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me."

I have it and nothing went wrong for me and the only thing I have against it is the name thing... but there is an easy work around.

I like the tab feature for multiple convos
you also don't have to have the social network window open...
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

That's in WLM+ for older versions of WLM.

That's the least of its problems. The smileys look terrible, they removed the sounds and the writing thing.

well, despite system restole, WLM sounds don't work for me and the icon in taskbar is gone.. only the rectangle displaying the status color remains.

have you checked the options menu for sounds? also have you tried to look for solutions on google cause I remember something about that icon issue a while back.
