BigGiantHead Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 It looks a lot cleaner now, simpler and much, much better. I really like the popup announcing an online contact or a new mail.

AaronMT Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I have a rather annoying bug that I would like to report. I once went into the mode Appear Offline and back into Online now whenever I start the client I am always back into Appear Offline. Do you guys have the same problem?

jordan. Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Man my messenger crashes like no tomorrow. I think I can force it to crash by opening and closing the contact window 2 or 3 times repeatedly but thats not the only time it goes down.. Very frustrating :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/436646-windows-live-messenger-build-0566/page/8/#findComment-587262490 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGiantHead Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 is this build available through ideas.live.com cause i tried the Sign in and it asks please upgrade way i kept it on for 30min there was absolutely no sign of anything getting Downloaded :( Yes, you can download it off Live Ideas. It's much quicker than the update process. Regarding A-Patch, WLM refuses to sign in after installing it. How do I get past this?

SIG Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 The problems I had with a-patch are none of the above :p and they were fixed by un-installing and re-installing messenger and applied a-patch again. zero problems now.

MidnightDevil Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Mine seems to be ok, the only thing is crashing when i minimize it sometimes. But besides that, much more lighter than the previous beta version! Flat interface and a more usable contact list :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/436646-windows-live-messenger-build-0566/page/8/#findComment-587269997 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaxje Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 anyone else having a problem with apatch? soon as i install it none of my contacts load? let me know if i can fix this some how.. cheers I've got that problem. But without A-patch aplied. Not sure why that happens, I actually don't have any problems sorting by groups on my end, but others have reported that bug and a work-around to fix it -> Sort your contacts by Status, not by groups. It's not an A-Patch problem. I got this bug with the standard WLM .566 installed.
