I have no idea what they are talking about as automatic updates is turned on; don't they have a way of already knowing that?

MSN messenger, Win7, Profile pics missing.

15. May 2012 · Comments Off on MSN messenger, Win7, Profile pics missing. · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , , , , , ,
I am running MSN messenger on windows 7. When open I see small profile pics in the friend list but when I open a chat box the image does not appear in the top left corner as it used to do. The only thing I have changed on the PC recently was when I installed Adblock a few days before, I don't think it could have caused this problem but I'm grasping at straws as I have gone through all the settings and see no way to repair the problem. I have even tried the repair function and a re-install but still have the problem. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Microsoft Windows Live Mail Problem

12. May 2012 · Comments Off on Microsoft Windows Live Mail Problem · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , , , , , ,
I am using Windows Live Mail and I believe that I have tried to send too many photo attachements which has jammed up my outgoing que and is resulting in my current inability to send additional e-mails.  (I seem to have 8 backed up now, however I am able to receive e-mails).  Is there an easy way to clear the offending e-mail with the exessive photo attachments?

Global Hotkeys for Windows Live Messenger?

08. May 2012 · Comments Off on Global Hotkeys for Windows Live Messenger? · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , , , , , , , ,

Hi!

 

Is there any way to assign global hotkeys in Messenger? I'm currently using both Miranda IM for sending messages and Messenger for Video Chat.

This is not an ideal setup, but I really don't like using the mouse except for internet browsing.

 

The one thing that keeps me from moving from Miranda IM to only Messenger is the fact that I have to use the mouse/alt+tab to Messenger when a message arrives.

In Miranda I only hit CTRL+SHIFT+M (or whatever keys I chose) and the first message in the "inbox" is shown.

 

 

I really really really miss global hotkeys in Messenger, can this be achived with a plugin? If no such plugin exists, would it be possible to write one?

I.e. is there a public API that can be used to achive this logic?

 

Best Regards

Carl Ericsson

Chat history: Changing log saving options?

06. May 2012 · Comments Off on Chat history: Changing log saving options? · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , , , , , ,
Hi,
I've been having some problems with the chat history.
Normally, the files would be named according to the e-mail (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***), but on my new laptop they're being saved with a big number instead of @hotmail.com (examplexxxxxxxxxxxxx). Now this doesn't bother me, but some e-mails ending with .number (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***) are being saved as example.96xxxxxxxxx. So Windows mistakes the .96xxxxxxxxxx as the file type, and hence I'm not able to open the logs (that are supposed to be XML files).
Any idea how to fix this? 
I can't find a way to specify that the file type is XML, or a way to make Messenger save them as @hotmail.com.
