Windows Live Messenger 8.5 beta 2
Added on: 28 May 2007 / Changed on: 28 Dec 2007 / Downloads: 160475
Version: 8.5.1288Facts:
- New installer icon
- New setup look
- New Desktop icon (with TM branding)
- New installation path (C:/Program Files/Windows Live/Messenger)
- New GUI
- Windows OneCare integration
- New smile. Just type ('.') in a convo window
If setup doesn't work, try this:
By Pathetic: Windows Vista - Go to C:/ProgramData
or
Windows XP - Go to C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data
You might have to show hidden files/folders - finally delete "WindowsLiveInstaller" as well as "WLInstaller" - this should fix the issue of closing half-way through an installation.

when it all finishes downloading at all and you click close, the actual messanger isnt in all programs and i cant find it anywhere :S
all my neightbours are comblaning this new version. i don't know y this is version of msn is working every day,every hour, every minute, every second there is a problem in this so all my kubisalla town is not support this all change it as soon as possible
i have installed msn live messanger 8.5 but there webcam is not working idont know why?i like very very much 7.5 bcoz that one was too much fast
hey guys i found this great link for a patch enabeling multi msn for 8.5 beta2: www.apatch.org ....... u should all try it
God it took forever to download... and I've got a really fast connection -_- Still, it was worth it 
have had trouble diplaying my display picture - not any of usual problems though - somehow wen you click on the "show my dp and allow others to see it" box it will always reset to unchecked wen you click ok or relpy.. also uponthe change picture option, the "don't show a picture" box is checked and greyed out so you cannot change it. also wen selecting a VALID file name ( all types tried) it will always result in a "not valid file" notice..
any advice would be great. cheers

Every single time i sign in to live messenger it immediately have a pop up saying sth like "live messenger has encountered a problem and needs to be closed" and then it closes down itself.
This is getting frustrating especially since they don't allow us to use older versions anymore.
Any help please?
