Topic: MSN Messenger

[TR]

Greetings folks  8)

Since I have upgraded to the new MSG 5, I have not been able to see the icon on the tool bar... its lost in Space  .
Has this happened to anyone else that uses Msg or is it just me, I have looked everywhere looks like someone has stole it  .
The only Icon I have now is on the in tray bottom right,not on the tool bar above, I have right clicked.. nope its not there  .

Slightly confused Hook

Hook does it not show in the options when you go to customize

MSG 5? There's a new version of MSN Messenger? I missed that one. I must be working too hard  

I'll just download it Hook and let you know how I get on  


Edit: I can only find version 4.7 for XP. Should I be looking for it anywhere other than microsoft.com

[Sandra]

A word of caution Adept,Barra downloaded it a few days back and he had problems as well

Hook, if it's a toolbar icon you're after, can you not just drag or copy the desktop icon (create one if there's not one there) to the toolbar?

Sorry if that's stating the obvious!

I love being the guinea pig for Bill's latest disast great software.

But where can I get it?

[TR]

I've looked everywhere.....

[Simon]

I think it might be here

[Adept]

Thanks Simon. I've been there but only got version 4.7 (4.7.0105)

[Simon]

Right, I wonder if there's some confusion here over MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger?  MSN Messenger is here, and if you look at the bottom of the page, it says about different language versions.  Click on that, and you will see references to version 5.0.  It must just be MSN Messenger that has bumped up to V.5.0

This is strange, I just downloaded MSN to put n my parents PC and it said it was MSN version 9  , however it worked okay

I wish someone would zap Microsoft

[Adept]

Well I'm thoroughly confused now

It would appear that the Win9x version is called MSN Messenger and is on v5 whereas the XP version is called Windows Messenger and is on v4.7

So I clicked on MSN Messenger for Windows and it showed an XP version (v5) which I downloaded and installed with no problems at all.

Hook, the MSN icon appeared without me having to do anything. So all I can conclude is that there was a problem with your installation. Try reinstalling by double-clicking the MsnMsgs.Msi from wherever it was downloaded.

[Simon]

Well, the XP version, if it's Windows Messenger, comes without all the adverts, so surely that's the better choice, regardless of which version number it is?

I'm using the version which came loaded with XP, and have had no problems with it.

Adept
I have tried what you suggested with the "fix" but still no Icon,Oh well no great shakes.

Thanks for trying anyway. :-[
