Cannot video chat with Messenger client with Skype

01. December 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Messenger · Tags: , , , , ,

I foolishly installed Skype and merged my Windows Live Messenger account with the understanding that I would be able to video chat with Messenger clients. Well, I can't. Turns out that my Mom cannot receive a Skype call. When she tried to install Skype, she got a "system did not meet the AGE LIMIT  for  MY COUNTRY" message. To make matters worse, it looks like Skype removed the msnmsgr.exe executable from my system. I tried downloading windows live essentials and reinstalling. It just says it's up to date and does not install messenger.

 

I have been video chatting with my Mom, who lives 3000 miles away, for years now. That is how I check how she is doing. Because she is 86, it is important for me to see how she looks. So I really need to know how to get Messenger back on my system or how to get Skype installed on her system.

 

Thanks for any advice you can give.

Cannot see icon within Skype that shows new messages on Hotmail

01. December 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Messenger · Tags: , , , , ,

 

 

I installed the full Skype program that replaces Windows Live Messenger but I cannot see an 'email envelope' icon within Skype (like there was in Messenger) that shows new messages and the ability to click on the envelope icon to open Hotmail automatically.

How can I view new messenges when signed in to Skype?

 

Thanks.

MSN Contact list gone after Skype MSN app download in China

28. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Messenger · Tags: , , , , , ,

Hi,

My MSN contacts have both disappeared from my MSN Messenger as well as my Hotmail after downloading and merging Skype 6.0 with my MSN Messenger.

Upon discovering that this purge of my contacts occured, I contacted Skype helpdesk, un-merged my Skype and MSN accounts. Approximately 2/3 of my MSN Hotmail contacts were deleted and I had to restore these contacts via the restore function on Skydrive.

However, the issue is that several contacts still do not show on my Hotmail email contacts even though they are available on Skydrive.

Furthermore, 2/3 of my Messenger contacts are still missing, meaning that I had the option before to message them offline however, I do not even see them listed on my MSN Messenger now.

I have read that in China, the MSN SKype one application will not be available (I downloaded the app using a VPN) Upon trying to merge to one app, it seems that there is a disconnet with servers as my contacts have now been deleted.

Can you please help.

My request: I need for all my MSN contacts from my Skydrive to be re-integrated back to MSN Messenger. I also need these contacts to be available to be via Hotmail.

 

My email address is: {Removed}

Skype user name is: {removed}

If you require any more information, please let me know.

Thanks and talk soon,

AW

Removal of live messenger from pc

25. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Messenger · Tags: , , , , , ,
I already use Skype and do not need to merge my accounts or contacts. 
I have a paid for email address plus a Hotmail account all under Windows Live Mail. 
As far as I can determine I no longer require Live Messenger ... how can I delete this programme from my Windows 7 64bit pc?

The change to messenger on 11/20/12

23. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Messenger · Tags: , , ,

What happened to the news, entertainment highlights and etc,, on my live messenger page when my computer starts up? I upgraded to Skype but didn't like it so I re-installed Live messenger. Now all of the highlights of the day have disappeared and been replaced with only social info.  There used to be several options for new, social, celebs, sports etc... they are now gone.

 

Any idea how this can be fixed?

ms skype has uninstalled messenger. how to get email alerts?

23. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Messenger · Tags: , , , , , ,
Skype upgraded itself to latest version 6.0.73.126 in windows 8 and in the process removed messenger and advised to have im from Skype. fine. but messenger was also giving email alert of emails in outlook.com. now that messenger is uninstalled I am not able to get email alerts at all or access outlook,com directly by clickin on messenger. messenger also remembered my username and password and when I click on the inbox, I was landing in outlook.com. but now that messenger is not there, I have to open internet explorer, enter in webaddress Hotmail.com or outlook.com and when it opens the username page, I have to enter username and password, every time I want to check my email. can Microsoft help me/advise me with better technique. I don't use im so im from Skype is not of much use to me. messenger was very useful for (1) getting email alerts and (2) quickly access outlook.com without entering username and password. is it possible to reinstall messenger?
