Windows Live Messenger

[geniecolgan]

I use Windows Live Messenger to talk to my friends in the UK and N.Z.

You build your own contact list and can block all others users from contacting you.

You can hold a conversation by typing back and forth and if you have a high speed connection, you can have live voice conversations by adding a headset or a mic and speakers.

You can add a webcam and have a video conversation in real time and you get hotmail thrown in too.

When downloading this new Windows Live Messenger does it overwrite the old version of Messenger. Or do you have to get rid of the old version

[geniecolgan]

It overwrites it.

I Exited my existing Windows Live Messenger then let the update do it's thing automatically.

Thanks for that info, my oldest son says l must try to do things myself and learn more, hence the question, just wish everything updated automatically.

It is easy to update to the latest version of Windows Live Messenger - I am a dumbo with computers and managed it. I still have the old version on here, kept it in case I couldn't get on with the new one, but love the new one. Give it a go.

Hi Silas,

Good for you Jean.  Know how you feel about being scared of computers 'cos I'm the same.  Now I have to pluck up the courage to use a webcam!!  Enjoy.

l did not like the webcam, back in queensland my son put it on, l made him remove it, perhaps its because l hate having photo taken so don't like bing live.

Anyway good luck with yours

Futher to my brag yesterday that l had updated my Windows Live Messenger
l cleaned up my computer as normal Disk clean up and l did a Defrag after Defrag had finish l got this message

Some files on this volume could not be defragmented.
Please check the Drefrag report for the list of these files.
