Reply:If you go to your Control Panel, click on Add or Remove Programs, and then select the version you don't like. Then just click remove and it will uninstall it for you.





After that, download the version you DO want (probably one you already know works for you), and install it.





Since the newer version is gone, there should be no reason for it to not let you to install an older, and quite possibly superior version again.





Hope this helps.

Reply:You need to uninstall all of MSN....go under your control panel then add/delete programs or manage programs. Then go to download.com and find the MSN you want and install it. This should work!
Reply:if you want to uninstall something from your computer, go to your start menu


find control panel


and then look for "add/remove/change programs"


click on that,


look for the program you want to uninstall


then just uninstall it

How do you delete a sign in name on Windows Live Messenger 2009?

I accidently put in a wrong email address and password, and now it has saved those wrong details on the log in page. Thanks.

How do you delete a sign in name on Windows Live Messenger 2009?
Hi miriamtr,





On the log in screen, click the arrow under the password button and de-select the “remember me” button. From there, you can re-enter the correct information and sign in.





Or, you can just click the “forget me” link and it will forget the info.





Cheers,

If I use blackberry messenger while being in another country is it free to send messages and to receive?

I have the blackberry curve 8330, I also have the unlimited data plan with it as well as unlimited text. If I was in Canada and wanted to blackberry message someone who has the messenger also is it free because i have the unlimited data plan?

If I use blackberry messenger while being in another country is it free to send messages and to receive?
The following is extracted from an article on How Stuff Works for Blackberry Messenger:





"With BlackBerry Messenger, however, the server stays involved as it would if you were sending e-mails. All communications go through parent-company Research in Motion's servers as you continue to exchange messages. That also means you can't use BlackBerry Messenger unless you have a BlackBerry Internet plan, or data plan."


http://communication.howstuffworks.com/b...





Translation: BBM works via internet. So, you having an unlimited data plan / internet your covered. It is just like you are accessing a website. There should be no additional fees. The only difference between this an instant messaging is that the BB (or RIM) servers are being used.
Reply:On my network ( a uk one) I was told by them that the blackberry bundle only provides access but you would still be charged for the sent and received data as normal roaming costs.

both the microphone and speaker doesn't work after I login to gtalk.I have to restart my system to restore my sound back.


The problem arises only when I login to Gtalk. skype works well with my laptop. Does any one has a fix?

Try this: Click start lower left on your desk top, then click control panel then double click sounds and audio devices. Click audio tab ensure your speakers and mic are the default devices do the same with the voice tab. If not change them and click o.k. You can also check your equipment while you are there. Also click actions top line of the messenger window, scroll down and run voice setup.
Reply:Did you find a fix for this problem?





I bought Dell Studio 15 laptop yesterday and faced exactly same problem as you did.





I reported this to Dell Support. They acknowledged the issue and told me that this is known bug with IDT Audio Driver. But they refused to give any date for availability of the patch.





I've also posted this on the Dell Community forum. but no responses yet.





Do let me know if you were able to resolve or work around this problem with your laptop.

How do I get into the chat room other than through Messenger?

So much has changed in Yahoo. I've tried to get into the chat rooms but I don't see what the tutorial is telling me. There is no drop down menu anywhere on my Messenger to show a chat. Is Messenger the only way to get into the chat rooms?

How do I get into the chat room other than through Messenger?
Yahoo messenger is the only way to get into the Yahoo chat rooms. It's been the case since Yahoo discontinued the web (java) version of yahoo chat.





So you need to download and use Yahoo messenger. Within Yahoo messenger, after you've signed in, you'll need to locate , Messenger%26gt;Yahoo! Chat%26gt;Join a Room, in the menu. And that is how you get into the chat rooms. Of course there is also the captcha that you need to go through. It's also something that has changed lately. You need to go through captcha, also known as word verification, before you enter a room. Which means you need to go through it each time you change rooms as well...





Yahoo chat is no longer what it used to be.
Reply:I still tried to get in the chat rooms and I cant get in the chat rooms and the messenger smile does not even show up and I cant get in location


to chose which location I want to get in.
Reply:Yes Messenger is now the only way to get into Yahoo Chat rooms. From the Messenger box, choose the "Messenger" drop down at the top left and you will find the link to the chat rooms,.

What phones have AIM messenger other then the sidekick?

What phones have AIM messenger other the sidekick? I have a sidekick and im looking for something new with a full keyboard to replace it. The sidekick is too bulky for me and it freezes up and lags out a lot.

What phones have AIM messenger other then the sidekick?
Most phones have aim, yahoo, and icq on them. Obviously, "standard messaging rates apply." There are tons of phones out there with qwerty keyboards. Since you have the side kick, I assume you have T-Mobile. There is the Dash, The Wing, The Curve, The Pearl, and a few others. Stop in at your local T-Mobile store to see and test out the phones.. but you can also view them on tmobile.com.





Internet browsers are also available on most phones now, too.
Reply:all phone have AIM now a day. pick up what ever you want and it will have it. good luck
Reply:almost all phones work with aim
Reply:almost all of them. Just when ur looking at them online or at the store just look at the features it will be in there.

Any tips to make messenger run better or start for that matter on a windows 98 with a 56K dial up?

First off, you'll have to understand that newer and more updated software will require faster and a more updated machine. I suggest Windows Xp or Windows 2000. They are both stable and work really good with most software now adays. And if possible try upgrading your internet to DSL. A fast machine and fast internet will give you what your looking for. Trust me its worth it, but can be sometimes expensive so be careful.

How can I find out who hacked into my windows live messenger?

Is there any way at all I can find out who hacked into my Windows Live Messenger account? They don't seem to have changed anything but whenever I was logged in, sometimes it logged me out saying I logged in on a different computer. Also, my friend told me I was online at 1am which I wasn't. I haven't given my password to anyone. Is there a way I can find out who hacked in?

How can I find out who hacked into my windows live messenger?
No not really, the best thing to do is change your password as soon as possible. Also change your secret question too. This will ensure that no one will be able to re-enter your windows live account. Also run a spyware scanner on your PC - just to make sure there arent any keyloggers etc installed.



Reply:There is no way of finding this out yourself, if you report the issue to MSN/windows live they themselves can access where your account is being logged into using the Ip address however they can't share this with you all they can do is give the information to the police who will follow up the complaint. However its unlikely to be anyone you know, more likely to be spyware thats infected your PC. Uncheck any of the remember me options, run all your spyware and anti-virus programs and see what comes up. Also go in and change your password and your secret question. If it is someone you know they will have gotten in either guessing your password if you've used something like your pets name or date of birth or they have answered your secret question so set these both to random options and just keep a note of them. Best passwords to have contain numbers letters and characters such as _ or -. so spring_rainbows1234 is far better then just writing springrainbows. Its harder for people to guess and its also harder for random hackers to crack.
Reply:Believe it or not..accounts,computers and profiles are mostly hacked due to password sharing.While you are on windows live messenger,any good hacker can hack your account through you IP address..even photo sharing can be one of the causes of hacking.Well you'll have to ask a good hacker itself to know who hacked into your windows messenger live.Or maybe if you have shared your password with some that person must have told another one and maybe this is how your windows live messenger was hacked.
Reply:well,


it might not necessarily be a hacker,


you might've logged in on another computer and put 'sign me in automatically', like for example your grandmother's computer, and she was on the computer at one in the morning.


just an example.


maybe one of your friends was over at your house and saw you type in your password. and they decided to log into your account just for fun.


i'm sorry this had to happen =[


good luck!
Reply:im not sure but never keep ....


remember me checked


remember my password checked or


sign me in automatically checked because people can still hack in to you're computer, a similar thing has happened to me in the past.


now i always sign in .


never keep anything checked(ticked)


hope this helps


oh and change you're password .






























Reply:Yes,Contact or E-Mail MSN or if the worst comes to the worst create a new account and then maybe you won't get any trouble any more.

Hi praisethelord1388,





The new Windows Live Messenger actually leaves out the send button as a way to keep communication flowing and allow users to keep their fingers on the keyboard.





Many users have been using either ENTER or TAB + ENTER for sending their messages for quite some time.





Hope you enjoy the new Windows Live Messenger.

Use AVG (I think that is what it is called) if you want something free, or use like Norton or Mcafee to remove it.
Reply:It wasn't Live Messenger that gave you the virus. You must have had the virus before you installed Messenger and when you ran Messenger, it activated the virus.





I would strongly recommend doing several different virus scans on your computer...





Here are some links to check out.. the first one is an online virus scanner from Norton





The second is where you can get FREE AVG Anti Virus..


The third is Ad-Aware - eliminates spies/ads


The fourth is C Cleaner... cleans out your cookies, cache...





All of these will be greatly beneficial to you...





Scan your computer for viruses, spies, ads...etc...
Reply:No offense intended, but tell the wife to never click on any link that is sent to her in an instant messege and she won't get viruses though it. Especially ones received offline. Thats just basic computer security and common sense101.





Since the exact type of infection is unknown, I would Run both of these on-line scans. Both are free and excellent at detecting and removing malware free of charge. There is no need to un-install any of your current protections before using these.





1. Scan for virus, worms, dialers, etc. and remove (free online scan, no downloaded program) with BitDefender's Online Scanner

2. Scan for trojans, adware, cookies, and spyware and remove (free online scan, no downloaded program) with Ewido Online Scanner ( now known as AVG Anti-Spyware). This is NOT the same as AVG Anti-Virus.

These scans will take quite a bit of time. The time is necessary to clean-up an infected computer.

Does anybody know how to remove downloaded skins from Windows Live Messenger, mine has jammed it?
Hi mychemical_disaster,





My name is Tara and I am with the Windows Outreach Team. To remove a Messenger skin and restore your messenger to its original state (you will loose all patch settings) follow these steps:


1. Open the start tab


2. Locate your system setting


3. Open the control panel


4. Select Add/Remove programs


5. Find your messenger program


6. Single click and select “restore” option


7. Follow any other directions – depending on version





You can download skins directly from the Messenger Live site here: http://www.msgpluslive.net/skins/





I hope this is helpful!





Cheers,


Tara

Reply:Try and uninstall Windows Live messenger , then re-install





or





Go to the folder where the downloads are kept and delete..








Microsoft does not do skins for Live Messenger , so you can get those skins for third party companies but I would be very careful with these , cause most have spyware included ( e.g install their toolbars )....I would tend not to download any more of these skins and I would uninstall the programme where you get these skins and run my antispyware programmes

How do I find my send button in my Windows Live messenger?

I have to use my enter button in order to send my messages through. So, how do I fix it?

How do I find my send button in my Windows Live messenger?
Hi praisethelord1388,





The new Windows Live Messenger actually leaves out the send button as a way to keep communication flowing and allow users to keep their fingers on the keyboard.





Many users have been using either ENTER or TAB + ENTER for sending their messages for quite some time.





Hope you enjoy the new Windows Live Messenger.





Cheers,

Reply:That's what it's for, there IS no send button in Messenger.


Why Do I appear offline to one contact in my yahoo messenger?

I appear offline to one of my contacts which uses msn. I have checked the stealth settings and the ignore list and I still can't find why I appear offline to him. I appear online to myself in my messenger list, but I don't appear online to one person. What can I do?

Why Do I appear offline to one contact in my yahoo messenger?
Re-add that person.
Reply:If this person is on your yahoo friends list click on the name, I believe it is right click, this pulls down a menu. Click on stealth setting, make sure you have them listed as Appear online. Maybe somewhere along the line you clicked the appear offline. Check it out. Hope this helps.

Is it anyway possible to download any other versions? I am using Linux. I need to use my webcam next weekend to connect to my husband as he will be away for a trip and wants to see me and the kids often. Thanks. If you know of any web based site that allows it, I would highly appreciate it. Thanks

Reply:Windows Messenger and it's successors ONLY run on Windows.





Linux has many alternatives to Windows Messenger, like Pidgin, Gaim %26amp; Kopete, for example.





Just look in the Program listings for an already pre-installed IM client.

Download it over the air (OTA)... Go to blackberry.com/messenger from your Blackberry Web Browser and click on Download. You don't need to use Desktop Mgr. for this one.
