Unknown_97784568745 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I see they haven't fixed the annoying "Install Flash" Dialog every single time you login on messenger.

Fluxii Media Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Installed. Running smooth... Even using less resources than Beta 1. No problems either, chatting with Facebook friends and they even added my Myspace contacts to my contact list this time when I connected. Pretty neat.

Jamushroom Veteran Posted August 17, 2010 Veteran Share Posted August 17, 2010 Sorry but this is how a messenger should look like ... Snip! I must admit, that looks pretty clean and slick. Even though I've Trillian 5 installed, I hate the way the window acts when a new tab pops-up.

thealexweb Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I see they haven't fixed the annoying "Install Flash" Dialog every single time you login on messenger. It's a mystery why they haven't switched to Silverlight for the ads.

LightShadow Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 You have flash installed? ... because I don't. Why don't you have flash? It requires flash for stuff like Animated DP's and Winks.

Unknown_97784568745 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 It's a mystery why they haven't switched to Silverlight for the ads. Well, if you don't have flash installed they show you javascript ads. They are a lot less annoying. Why don't you have flash? It requires flash for stuff like Animated DP's and Winks. I don't want it. And I don't really care about animated DPs or winks. I wouldn't have minded if it asked me once, but every time I sign in is too much.

drlacus Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 :angry: Ok ! This "No internet connection" error drives me crazy. It happens with the full installer, the web installer, the old installer.

ahmz Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Sorry but this is how a messenger should look like ... <<snip>> Yea honestly WLM has been annoying me a lot lately.. it's so ridiculously bloated and sluggish. I'll be using Trillian as my main client from now on (Y) The customisation of Trillian is pretty awesome.

LightShadow Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Is there a way to remove the ads completely yet? Not that I know, if you don't like them then go to a different program. It's ad-supported to pay for the app, it's great and it's free. Why not put up with ads, they are not bothersome at all.

I suggest making asupport post here and see what they say. Yeah I will, but I don't think the feature is gone because when you right click their theme in a conversation window, you get a check-list saying "Show my contact's theme". I also tried with a friend using 2011 and he sees my theme and i see his theme as the default blue.. but yeah going to report it.

Luke777 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Every time I open/starts up Messenger Live Essentials beta 2, it crashes and starts to send error report. After this, messenger opens up, and seems to be working fine. This happens every time messenger is exit and closed. I am on windows 7 64 bit+sp1 beta, no idea if Messenger Live Essentials beta 2 cannot run on it. Messenger Live Essentials beta 2 runs without any problems on my other PC with windows 7 32 bit (no beta sp1 on) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/911970-windows-live-essentials-beta-out-now/page/41/#findComment-593043034 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not put up with ads, they are not bothersome at all. The ad is nearly 80% of the size of the contact list in the expanded view. In any case, I installed this on my old laptop... man has this program gotten bloated. Flash animations? Why? The feeds from facebook look like a mess in the social view. I think I'll be joining ahmz in switching to Trillian.
