Windows Live Messenger 2011!?

[Aniki]

So, today I installed Windows Live Essentials 2011 because I thought it was something good. But my Messenger, got all messed up! Now I desinstaled the whole thing, and download the so suposed Windows Live Messenger 2010, but everytime I start the .exe file, it just goes automatically to WLE2011.

What can I do to install the old one I had, Windows Live Messenger 2010? Please help, I'm getting really p*ss*d off at this idiotic new program ='(

Sounds like the program is just auto updating. Try the 2009 version. You can find more versions here: new msn messenger 2010 free download

Probably, and I'll never use it! And your solution seemed to work Linux, thanks! Oh and sorry for putting this on the wrong thread, I just went on panic and decided to put it on GF Lounge. Thanks again!

It is really stupid. And no, if it was in beta they wouldn't have put out an update to everyone who uses it.

The 2 biggest problem to me were the new weird layout and that your nickname had to be you account name Profile. Basically, you can't change your nickname without changing your name to what you want. That's just... weird.

Glad it worked.

Sometimes updates just mess things up. I rarely use MSN or any other or any other messenger anymore...I think I still have one of the old versions, like 7.0. I know for a fact the one on my laptop is really old...never updated - never had a reason to.

I have the 2009 version.. I tried 2011 and its just
UGH
so gross.

I heard many bad things with that one. my friend updated & she cannot downgrade it back to the previous version... like something about changing names & updates or status messages. I'll tell my friend about that link you supplied linux. Thanks.

Yeah I just got the update too.. I'm not a fan either... but I'll just get used to it.... I'm too lazy to uninstall and reinstall especially when I use skype most of the time now...
