Windows Live Messenger (MSN 8.0) Goes Final

And I was hoping it would tie in with Xbox Live, as it is called Live Messenger now :(

From what I know it will do eventually.

Oh, OK, that’s better. :d

i’m having the same problem… and it’s my lifeline. has anyone fixed this yet?

:((

i have just got a new laptop with windows vista. i have windows messenger but every time i open it dep kicks in and shuts down the program. can somebody please.. please help me.:-?

:(( I also purchased a new laptop with vista, and I cannot open messenger either – like Lee and Caitlyn I have uninstalled, reinstalled, repaired, rebooted and anything else I can think of. When I try to open it it starts, and I get the login screen, and then it says, messenger has encountered an error and the program will now close… or something like that. anyone have any ideas? you’d think microsoft would have thought of this before releasing vista

My lovely laptop is all Vista-fied, but no matter what I do, and believe me, I’ve spent hours trawling the forums looking for a solution, NOTHING works when trying to sign into ANY form of msn messenger, and for that matter, Yahoo messenger. I have the patch for Acer laptops to stop the DEP error, but it won’t let me sign in, instead telling me there’s a problem. I’m not all knowing when it comes to computers, so short of throwing the laptop across the room, what can I do???

when i sign in 4 windows live messenger it says my firewalls wont allow it

Emma, I have the exact same problem. New Acer laptop, Vista Home Premium, cannot get it to work even after downloading the supposed patch from Acer which did seemingly nothing!

I don’t use MSN Messenger a great deal, but I’d like the option to use it if I so desire! Stupid MS, stupid ACER – I love my laptop, but this is just shoddy and I want a solution! ~X(

My Msn is not working but i dont know why? HELP!!!!!!!!!:((:)]>:p:(

hiya.

i got my acer laptop with windows vista on it for my birthday may 15th..got internet set up the next day..installed windows live messenger..and it won’t work because of something called deps. its something about data protection security. so to make it work take it to a computer shop and they should be able to sort out what deps lets you go on and what it doesn’t.
i havent got mine sorted out yet. but if anyone has any other solutions..:d/ :-?

I got the same problem here….
if anyone… please anyone got a solution, please help me!!
i also experience same problem in other applications.
when i open applocale, and try to click browse to target a exe file to open, it just closes the application. i kept on trying different methods, now i am forced to drag and drop the exe file for the applocale to open instead.
i noticed this bug started at the same time as the live messenger started to bug.

:(:(:(

:d/:d/:d/:d/:d/:d/:d/:d/:d/:d/

whoever gave that patch link to help with the problem, my msn TOTALLY works now. I clicked the link, downloaded the patch and now everything is AOK.

I just got an Acer Aspire 9300-5390 laptop. The Acer OrbiCam software didn’t work after installing Windows Live Messenger. I downloaded the drivers from Acer’s site and the sofware works now. However, even after restoring factory default settings (even though I just got this laptop), whenever I try going to the “Advanced…” webcam settings, WLM closes on me and I get an error message. :(( DEP gives me a message saying it can’t be turned off for WLM as well. :((
