Ideas Man Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Modifying the exe disables shared folders though. =( They signed the exe. There might be a bit more to it than that. Apparently it's disabled for Australians (which according to your profile you are).

windows95isg8 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I did not like the new look at first, but it has grown on me a lot. I have had no problems with it at all. It?s running fine. Had not one crash with it, and I have been testing all the features to make sure. I have sent feedback on what I like and don?t though, so I feel im helping beta test it. A thanks goes to my mate Rob who sent me the invit:) :) Just a screen-shot of it all open. http://img472.imageshack.us/img472/1898/untitled3cl.jpg Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/408116-official-windows-messenger-live-beta-thread/page/20/#findComment-586946777 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnybarnes Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 This is great. Does anyone know if the shared folder thing works with people who are on MSN 7.5?

amr_01 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I had been joined WLM8 beta by Neowin members's invite Anyone know that there is an official beta newsgroup for WLM8 or not? and how can I join it? As far as i know, the people who were invited do not have access to it. go to connect.microsoft.com, log in, if you have messanger 8 in there you can set the newsgroup password, if it's not in there (which i don't think it is for those people), then you won't be able to use the newsgroup.

jwjw1 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 There might be a bit more to it than that. Apparently it's disabled for Australians (which according to your profile you are). I don't think its disabled for Aussies....Shared Folders also requires that you have a NTFS Partition and unmolded .exe that doesnt modify the 'digital signature' Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/408116-official-windows-messenger-live-beta-thread/page/20/#findComment-586947573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
G4M3R Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 OK - I'm not sure if anyone's clarified this in the ~32 pages before, but if you get invited to the Live Messenger beta, do you get invites of your own to pass on? This is what is says when I log in to Windows Live Ideas (I was invited) Hopefully they will give us some invites so we can return the favour.

windows95isg8 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Just to let people who dont know, You are free to sell your invites on ebay or the like. MS have said its cool with them. I read this from http://www.mess.be/ under the 'WINDOWS LIVE MESSENGER 8.0 BETA CHAT' This is what was said, to someone at MS: Q: What do you guys think about people selling their windows live messenger invites on ebay? A: I think it is cool. We actually have a pool to see what the highest price is.

AnThHh Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Will Messenger Live overwrite Messenger 7.5?

Yes when you install messenger live it will overwrite msn messenger 7.5 unless u rename the msn folder to a new name before you install windows messenger live!

I ask this because I have 2 messenger accounts but only 1 will allow me to use Messenger Live. Best thing to do...is just copy the complete folder and move it...then rename it MSN_7.5 and then create a shortcut from the msnmsgr.exe...then have the WLM install over the stuff in the default folder.
