(pozn. česky začnu psát až po tomhle příspěvku. Protože mi trvalo 4 hodiny než jsem přišla na zmiňovaný problém. Tak proč se nepodělit.)
Microsoft really pissed me off. Millions of people use MSN as a communication program. Its probably the most wide program ever. According to 10th anniversary they published new version of MSN, now called Microsoft live messenger.
MSN 2009 has one advantage which i like to use – sharing pictures without sending them as file. You can easily drag them and put them into messaging window, and the other side will immediately see what u want to show.
Even though lots of people are used to their MSN 8.5 and lower, after the upgrading they are not able to downgrade again in case they dont like the new version.
There are lots of step-by-step advices how to get rid of MSN 2009 (uninstallation is not never complete, you must clean your registry), but really the best option for me as an amateur was using the program ZapMessenger. Its a little executable file downloadable everywhere (just type in google or read further, link is down here), and it will remove your msn completely.
I am using Microsoft writer right now to write this post. Its fine utility, i didnt like the default blogger.com editor as i didnt figure out how to add tables. It is like mini-microsoft word. You can use simple formating etc., further informations about writer HERE in review.
You can download all elements of Windows live! separately – Mail, Photogallery, Writer, Messenger, etc. The windows live installer will ask you. BUT if you already have MSN (older version than 2009), it wont ask you if you want any upgrade, just tells you that you must upgrade. WTF?! Why would I have to upgrade, when Im totally convenient with program I am using? Why is there the MUST?!
So I tried to google the title above – how to install windows live programs without upgrading msn, and nothing was found. Its really easy though, but its written nowhere.
Also, it took me two hours to find MSN 8.5 installation file. Its not ANYWHERE. Really. You must search google really deeply to find the basic installation package called “wlm85.msi”(about 16MB), not “WLinstaller.exe” (about 2MB), which automatically runs windows live and forces you to upgrade.
Well, first of all, back up your old msn, better safe than sorry :)
Then run Windows Live installer and install the programs you wish to use, plus upgrade your MSN to version 2009. Run ZapMessenger.exe (download HERE), wait a couple of minutes, then reboot computer. After restart download MSN 8.5 HERE. Installation starts. I dont know how its supposed to look like, but my computer showed me little installation window but totally empty - without any text. So i waited what will happen and in Start - programs "Windows messenger" appeared. Clicked on it and there it was, windows live messenger 8.5!
So i downloaded Live Plus! HERE to configure skins and enable tabbed chatting window, and here is the result:
Anyway as you can see, i dont have many msn contacts. (suma sumárum 4 me including), because all of my friends are using ICQ. But really I hope i will manage to convince them to install msn, even the new version, because video chat is useful tool. Also, file sharing is very good idea. And surely the games as well :)
Talking about MSN games leads me to question – how can i ADD games to msn directly to play with my friends? One of the reasons why i wanted msn was that there are hundreds of msn games advertised… how can i get the multiplayer games? Even icq official has more :)
Finally finnished, congratulation if you read it to the end :)
