My Windows Live 9.0 has been crashed ( auto logout with error report window ) after window update. Cannot be fixed even un-install and re-install.

I have no choice to rollback to previous version. It makes me crazy, Microsoft should enhance its fixed on testing.

please help me someone, i have 8.0 and i want 8.5 but the instalers i download for 8.5 dont work for me and the proper downloads from microsoft doesnt work and keeps failing, can someone help me and maybe send me some links to other downloads that are not microsoft instalers

commented on 05 23,2009 by Mike

erm hi. i got a problem while trying to install. it said Windows Live Suite was not installed.

Code number: 0x8000ffff

thanks alot for the help

replied on 06 23,2009 by St113s

Hi i got that problem but i managed to sort it. if you had messenger 9.0 before you have to remove the whole lot.

start > control panel > add/remove programs

the one you have to remove is windows live essentials

after that you can download what ever version you want but in my opinion 8.5 is the best

You could always just go to msgplus.com download and install it.. You'll be able to see the colors in their name afterwards and even add colors to your own, Hope this helped you :]

commented on 05 09,2009 by lalalal

OMGOD...I LOVE IT.
new msn is a POO-HOLE.
8.5 OWNS

commented on 05 08,2009 by harri-chan

i'm glad i'm not the only one who dislikes 9.0!!

Has anyone else found that after reinstalling 8.5 the conversation backgrounds revert to the default white background every time you sign-in, even if you've set the different background to default?

eg. you change the convo background to the red hearts one, sign out, sign in later and the convo background is white again

commented on 05 05,2009 by Rainbow

Help! I*m trying to install 8.5 but when I try it says that another version is already installed so I go to control panel - add or remove programm but there is no msn. what is wrong? I just can*t get it...
