when i signed in to messenger i can't chat , what ever i write it doesn't appear and also the revived massage doesn't appear  and what ever i can see is a weird  texts in the chat area
Since the upgrade we can't switch users from the taskbar icon.  We have to sign out, open the messenger window and choose user there.  How do we get it back the way it was, all in one place on the taskbar.

The problem is it some how changes the settings on my router which connects our PCs to  the modem. What  Ireally want is to go back to msnmessnger10.  which it will not let me do even after I uninstall it.

I am using vista and when i try to download live mail, i keep being directed to the update platform i download all available updates and click to install  but that just takes me back to the box saying "we need to do a few things first" and asks me to install the update platform again, i am going round in circles.

I need to (compulsorily!) install Windows Platform to access MSN. I keep following the instructions, e.g. Platform should appear when I request available updates It doesn't!. I am told to install a security programme; when I attempt to do so I am told I need a Works disc which I don't have.  What do I do???

First off, let me explain, WHY I don't want the newer Windows Live!

I don't want it because it's bulky, it takes up too much CPU and freezes easily, and the msn on the left corner is USELESS and I don't need it! Let alone the fact that I can't even change my messenger name to what I want! I don't need internet friends to know my real name! And I don't want important people I email to know my internet pen name! So it'd be nice to be able to change your messenger name to what you want without it affecting your hotmail name!!!

Nobody I know likes it! Everyone complains about it! I really wish that people could be given to option to pick either a simple messenger or that complicated mess!!! That way everyone can be happy! (for whoever in their right mind actually likes the new version)

Anyway, I was happily using the 2009 version of windows live for over a month now and all of a sudden it's asking me to upgrade and won't even let me sign in! I do NOT want to upgrade! I will NEVER upgrade that that disgusting messenger! It has to be the most horrible version of messenger that was EVER created!

Everyone that I know asks me to remove it and install an older version, no one likes it! I've yet to find someone who actually enjoys it!

So yeah, I don't want to upgrade and would like to know if there's a way to stop it from forcing me to upgrade or if I'll have to find an even older version.
So today I had to mandatorily upgrade my window live messenger for XP to whatever version this is and I'm very confused and scared it messed up my web cam capabilities. My partner is across seas and in order for him to see my face I web cam with him, he does not have a web cam for security reasons. I NEED THIS TO WORK. I couldn't find an answer to my question on the msn website on if one way calling can be done. In my last version for XP it could I just clicked on this little call button when he'd sign on. Because he can't be told to sign on as I can't call him, or get in touch with him to get him online now, I can't test this. This account is only for him and I to talk in other words. So there's no way for me to answer my own question. How do I, when he signs on next, do one way web camming? If I can't on this version what DL of messenger will let me? I tried calling technical support and was put on hold 4 diff. times only to be told no one could help me and I had to wait for a simple answer and go to this site. I would greately appreciate a clear answer and directions. I'm very worried I can't web cam with him any more. Again he does not have a mic, or a cam. This is the only way for him to see my face and hear my voice, please help me make sure everything is okay for the next time he signs on. Time is so very precious for us with him deployed.
I can't update my  programs Because of an error 0x80040609
