Brandon H Supervisor Posted June 25, 2010 Supervisor Share Posted June 25, 2010 What about those of us who haven't come across any bugs? I haven't and I use most of the features. It makes sense for you to try it out for yourself; a lot of people who report so called 'bugs' are just not using the software properly and blame the software... wrong, I will tell you of 2 bugs, 1. the one everyone is talking about, the share something new in messenger not syncing with facebook 2. in mail, there is a bug when you try to assign a rule to move certain things to a folder automatically, try it and you'll see what I mean Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/911970-windows-live-essentials-beta-out-now/page/33/#findComment-592814234 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Spark99 Subscriber² Posted June 25, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted June 25, 2010 I am wondering if the people experiencing problems had the "leaked" Beta installed on their systems (as I did) I am planning a rebuild over the weekend after finishing a big project for work !!!

Calum Veteran Posted June 25, 2010 Veteran Share Posted June 25, 2010 wrong, I will tell you of 2 bugs, 1. the one everyone is talking about, the share something new in messenger not syncing with facebook 2. in mail, there is a bug when you try to assign a rule to move certain things to a folder automatically, try it and you'll see what I mean Yes, 2 bugs... Man, do any of you read my posts? I didn't say there were no bugs, I just said I haven't come across any; I haven't come across the 'share something new' issue because I haven't used that feature. I was trying to point out to Shayla and others thinking the same as her that it makes sense to try it out because it's not as buggy for a lot of people as some are trying to make it sound. Maybe you should read my posts properly in future? :yes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/911970-windows-live-essentials-beta-out-now/page/33/#findComment-592814506 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJamus Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 HELP!? One of the features I loved of the old Live Essentials was the Gallery Sync. It would not only sync your pictures, but the tags, changes, etc that were done inside Live Gallery. I know there is the Live Sync feature, but will that do what I want - sync my pictures between multiple computers with the same Faces, Tags, Edits, etc??

vanx Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 2. in mail, there is a bug when you try to assign a rule to move certain things to a folder automatically, try it and you'll see what I mean Oooooh...does it mean -- once it works properly -- we will be able to create client-side rules in WLMail? Number and flexibility of rules in Web Hotmail is nowhere near enough for me :whistle: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/911970-windows-live-essentials-beta-out-now/page/33/#findComment-592814572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bioran Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Well, I managed to install it on my laptop, but not on my work's desktop. Here's the error: Any ideas? Same here, also. Except with everything in the suite, and cycling between Mesh, WLLogin and "unknown error". Can't install Login Assistant or Mesh or the old suite either. For the former I'm getting error code 2203's, whereas the latter doesn't have an explanation at all.

BlueDraGon Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Is anyone else having an issue integrating facebook to Messenger? All I get when I put my email and pw is a blank screen with the button "Close" on the bottom. Is there any way to fix this?

Omen1393 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I think Windows 7 might have changed everyon'e expectations of a beta. It's a beta guys, did you really expect it to be glitch free?

evo21 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I like the app, but hate the massive intrusive ads.

gxsaurav Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Nothing. :( Removed everything on Contacts folder in %AppData%. Please check whether Windows Firewall Service & System restore, both are turned on. 1) Type services.msc in the Run dialogue box. There search whether "Windows Firewall" Service is running or not. If it is not, then Double click on the service name & select "Automatic" from the start up type selection menu. 2) Type regedit in Run dialogue box, then go to this key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore. Check if there are 2 keys by the name "DisableConfig" & "DisableSR" are visible in the right hand side pane. If they are then delete both of them. 3) Now reboot your PC & try installing again.
