SuperKid Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I think that is a bug, it was in the leaked build, the only way i could was going through my Windows Live profile. On another note i started the installation at 9pm, and it's still going, its currently at 64%, not sure wots taking so long Maybe its downloading? just very very slowly?

Storm Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 fixed the error after looking through the installer logs, and wasting a hour or two! i had a proxy set in internet connection properties ( although it wasnt ticked!!!) removed this, and worked fine!

Calum Veteran Posted June 24, 2010 Veteran Share Posted June 24, 2010 One-way webcam conversations are still not possible, grrrr. They aren't? Uninstalled. I wanted to have a look at where they are going with this, and I don't particularly like it. The constant use of live.com is annoying to say the least. The Facebook integration is a half-baked attempt (I understand it's beta, but give us something to test please?). I've gone back to 14. Messenger Discovery can at least connect to FB chat, so I'll stick with that. They have settings within the application as well. Why replicate settings which cover the whole of Windows Live within the app? It makes more sense to have a central place to change the same settings no matter where you are on Windows Live. Why in hell's name I cant modify my name? You can. Options > Personal > Your profile > Name > Edit name. You can't have 'display names' as they used to be but you can certainly show your actual name and edit that if you wish (I'm not suggesting having some silly long name in there like most people will try; I'm suggesting you use your actual name).

Elliot B. Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 They aren't? He only mentions if one of you do NOT own a webcam. If you both have one, and you click their webcam icon, it starts a full Video Call. It's frustrating.

Guest xiphi Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 They aren't? That's a workaround to a feature that shouldn't have been removed in the first place. Why should it be harder to the same thing in a next release? This release of WLM makes no damn sense! And, to reiterate what King Mustard said, that workaround doesn't even work when both people have webcams. Not everyone wants their webcam on when they watch someone else. MS is just trying to pull an Apple and decide what's best for us, and like usual they probably won't even listen to the complaints.

Junior Jatay Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I cannot install. I tried many times ... It says that Windows Live Essentials was installed, but actually was not, because the installation closes in less than 30 seconds.

Duality Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I am very much disliking the way they moved things like changing name onto the Windows Live site - it seems a real step backwards. Why not just go the whole mile and make it a web based IM?

Ambroos Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 As long as they don't put Nickname support back in and Prinstcreen -> Paste support for ppl with something older than 9.0 I'm not using it. Really, removing nicknames was not a good idea since like a huge part of their userbase are teens that want fancy stuff...
