Windows Live Messenger just stopped working

Hello! I know this is not really a new issue but i would post this just in case i'm doing something wrong, or if my case can point to the root of the issue into a closer direction.
Ive been using WLM since ive gotten my blackberry (over 6months) and i've lost access for a week.
my usage for WLM mainly is on a Windows XP computer (using WLM) and on my blackberry (using WLM)
I lost the ability to receive messages while i was having intermittent connectivity inside a mall (except the app didnt disconnect) I both send and was supposed to receive a message during this time (someone messaged me through facebook chat and told me about this) and never received those messages.
I could still send out files. just not receive messages.
among the solutions i've tried (even more than once for some solutions):
battery pull
uninstall wlm, restarted, reinstalled (using app world then also tried using OTA)
used different account
Service books-show hrt-register now (for the 3 WLM service books)
deleted service books and reregistered again
using im+, imo, nimbuzz does not have the same problem
even the current update did not work.
anything short of reinstalling the whole OS from scratch.
any ideas please let me know (or at least the comforting thought that youve isolated whats going on with those of us losing access to MSN)
Solved!

  • Is there a way to set an auto sync feature to icloud and windows contacts without using outlook or Windows live messenger just straight to windows contacts?

    Need to sync icloud contacts to windows contacts without using outlook or windows live messenger on my pc, i have itunes and icloud fully set up on my pc and i have an ipad2. itunes setting for syncing to windows contacts is not working, nor will it sync to my gmail. I tried to get icloud to sync to my gmail, and thought that i could then sync my gmail to windows contacts, but icloud isn't syncing to gmail either. I configured it correctly, (or at least tried). I was able to copy the csv and all that, and do it manualy, but would like it to sync automatically. Please help.

  • BB MEssenger just stopped working

    HI - I have two local (Canadian) bb contacts and one British one. Have been bb messaging them all with no problem for months and suddenly the other day the british one stopped working. We've tried deleting each other and re - adding each other but to no avail. We just stay in pending despite having accepted!  Anyone any ideas please???

    Welcome to the forums.
    Are you adding each other by email or by device PIN number?  I've always had better luck with adding by PIN.

  • Why does not voice communication work in windows live messenger

    please help, how can I connect to windows live messenger and can have voice communicate in windows live messenger
    thanks

    So it is a mono headset. Check your audio settings. Is the suitable audio driver assigned to your application (Bluetooth audio) ? Check also your microphone settings. Maybe it is muted.

  • Why doesn't the Windows Live Messenger sounds work when the app is closed?

    I just got my iPod for Christmas and I downloaded Windows Live Messenger. I read the blurb about it and it said it will notify/alert me that I got an IM (Instant Message). I recieved one, not knowing until an hour later when I re-opened the app and THEN found out I got one. Can anyone tell me how to fix it? 

    There are other Mac/iphone/facebook type questions on here that are answered and the answers work.  So I assume eventually this one will too. People having issues with facebook compatibility and Safari for example.

    Hi hope somebody can help? i have acrobat 6 pro, worked well for last two years but then just stopped working. Have reinstalled but still will not open, ronning windows 7. Help please!!  Janice

    Hey janicem42177174,
    Adobe no longer supports the installation and use of Acrobat 6 as it is a very old version which is not compatible with Windows 7.
    I would suggest you to please use the latest version of Acrobat i.e. 11.0.10 which is fully compatible with your OS with its enhanced features and functions.
    You might download a free 30-day trial version of Acrobat from here:
    Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat XI Professional
    Let me know how it goes

  • Problems receiving e-mails on Hotmail account while Windows Live Messenger is working on a pc...

    Dear all,
    it happens that when I have my Windows Live Messenger opened on my pc and fully working, I cannot receive the emails on my Hotmail account on my BB Torch 9860.
    Is there any chance to fix this issue? 'Cause when I close Windows Live Messenger, the e-mail box works properly...
    Thanks in advance for your support!

    There is nothing to fix. As the KB says, only one client can be logged into Live at a time. So, if you (for example) leave a PC desktop logged in, then your BB email service will be unable to log in and bring email to your BB. I do not know if configuring the email via POP versus IMAP (which, btw, you cannot control via the BB email configuration) would make any difference or not. The way to make it all work is do exactly as you did...log out from the PC whenever you want email to flow to the BB.
    Good luck!

  • Push Mail Not Working Properly for Windows Live Mail when Online At Windows Live Messenger

    Hello,
    This is quite an old subject, but it seems to be a recurring problem across versions of Windows Live Messenger handheld client software and Blackberry Internet Service server software. For some time, I used to have no issues with Live Messenger and Push Mail from Hotmail. Now, once again, I am having a huge delay, of several hours, when logged on as “Online” to Windows Live Messenger.
     What makes me believe that it is not a Windows Live limitation, by design, due to protocols and notification mechanisms in use, is the fact that I can receive both push mail and instant message notifications, immediately, as long as I am logged on to Windows Live Messenger as “Busy” or “Away”. If the protocols in place allowed notifications to only a single service at a time, I believe it should not work regardless of the status on Windows Live Messenger.
    I have been using Hotmail for quite a while and most of my friends use Windows Live Messenger, so I would like to keep both working in my BlackBerry. I understand BlackBerry has a commitment to offering broad compatibility, great stability, and better integration than other solutions on the market that appeals to fancy user interfaces and forget about objectivity. Having a mobile platform that can keep both the corporate and consumer world happy is definitely a great advantage. There are several loyal users that would like to keep sharing the proficiency on a common user interface for business and personal use. 
    I do not often post messages to online forums, but this is an issue that has been annoying me for quite some time and I am really looking forward to a solution. Is anyone experiencing the same behavior with Windows Live Messenger lately? Is RIM looking for a solution?
    Thanks,

    Ahhh...given that description, it may be WAD (Working As Designed):
    KB15747Email message delivery is delayed because of an integrated Windows Live Hotmail account on the BlackBerry smartphone
    As such, there would be nothing to report...

  • ITunes & Windows Live Messenger (MSN) - Now Playing Feature.

    Hey Guys!
    I'm a lover of iTunes over Windows Media Player and made the switch approximately a year and a half ago when I bought my iPod. At first I was upset I would lose the "Now Playing" feature of my Messenger and said the pros were far more beneficial. However after a month or two I noticed that suddenly it worked and all was well...
    However, Just recently, I believe when I bought an iPod Nano recently and synced it for the first time. It has stopped working and no longer displays no matter what I've tried... now before you go tell me something you'd tell a noobie, Let me first say... Yes, "Show What I'm Listening To" is checked... and I've tried those stupid little work arounds that make no sense such as the option of iTunes not being minimised to the system tray and Messenger being the main window...
    Why did it work before and why did it stop, was it the new iPod syncing causing iTunes to malfunction? I've uninstalled and reinstalled both to no fix... Please help!

    Okay... I've solved my issue using a work-around. the iTunes code for broadcasting these things definintely needs to be looked into. Its pretty trivial that syncing an iPod that doesn't have the "manual ejection" option ticked could cause a detrimental issue such as this.
    As Hinted, to fix the issue. Make sure the iPod is set to be 'manually ejected' once its finished syncing. This means you will effectively have to eject it yourself using iTunes once you've synced it.
    The steps I did was...
    *1. Set iPod to be 'manually ejected' once synced and hit apply.*
    *2. Sync iPod... again, for good measure.*
    *3. Restart the computer.*
    *4. Start iTunes with the iPod still connected, Sync it again.*
    *5. Open Windows Live Messenger and make sure 'show what im listening to' is ticked.*
    *6. Play a song in iTunes and see if it worked.*
    *Please post if this helped you.* Im sure a few of those steps like re-syncing aren't neccesary, then again it's "Apple" iTunes so it's best to be safe then sorry.
    Currently, the wonderful world of iTunes (7.7) is saying I don't have permission to set it as my default audio player, and im the friggin Admin...
    *Bravo! Apple Team, Bravo!*

  • Using integrated camera with Windows Live Messenger

    Hello everyone
    I've just got a MacBook Pro and wondered if anyone could tell me how to use the camera facility with MSN please?
    Many thanks.

    ... work with any version of windows live messenger?
    MSN Messenger for Mac does not support video except via Office Communications Server 2007 (usually paid for by commercial enterprises rather than individual users). However, it is possible to video with your friends who use the PC version of the MSN Messenger family of apps. Here are a couple of ways you can try:
    (1) As suggested by Defcom, take a look at   aMSN   and   Mercury
    Either can do webcam video with your built-in iSight.
    They work a bit differently, so use whichever you find easiest or most reliable on your MBA.
    (2) As an alternative, because your iNtel Mac can use Boot Camp, VMware Fusion™, or Parallels™ to run Windows® software, you can choose which method you want to use, add the required software to your iNtel Mac (if you have not already done so), and then install and use the same Windows® Messenger application that your contacts are using to video chat with them.
    The Windows drivers for your built-in iSight and your other Mac hardware are on the disk with Boot Camp so, after you have installed Windows, you can install the iSight driver and use your built-in iSight if you like. If you need more help on this, search or post in Boot Camp discussions category
    (3) If your friends are willing to try something "new and improved" (does NOT work with Messenger):
    you can both install and try a different video chat app such as Google Talk or Skype.

  • Windows Live Messenger crash with Adobe Flash Player

    operating system : Windows 7, 64
    browser: Mozilla Firefox (latest version. I have problems with WLM's latest version).
    Flash Player version: 10.1
    Everytime I install Adobe Flash Player for Windows Live Messenger (it has to be done by Internet Explorer) the Messenger crashes with no message. It just goes white and I can't even close it (I close it with the Task manager). I also have Messenger Plus! installed.
    What's the problem? I have a Windows XP (32) with the same Messenger, Flash Player and Plus! version installedand I don't get the crash.
    Thanks for your support.

    Let me explain it better:
    A message appears telling me that I need Adobe Flash Player. Y Download it for Internet Explorer (becaouse it doesn't work with Firefox's plug-in) and I install it with no programs opened. Then, once is installed, I open Windows Live Messenger and at first it goes well... but then, after 1 munute or so (maby less) the program goes white (not the hole computer, just the Messenger) and that's cause it has crashed.

  • Windows Live Messenger - Service not enabled on this device

    Hi
    Just got my BlackBerry Curve 8900 today, and firstly it won't let me install AppWorld? It's the most up to date software but it says "System requirements not met"
    Also I managed to download Windows Live Messenger, but it won't let me sign in. When I try all it says is "This service is not enabled on this handheld".
    I've used and installed AppWorld on my brothers phone which is the same, and with the same network; Vodafone. His works fine, am I doing something wrong?
    Thank you very much!

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!!
    I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    2) Resend Service Books
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    3) Batt Pull Reboot
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should check with your carrier to ensure that you have an adequate data service from them to enable the services you desire:

  • ITunes keeps stealing focus from itself when used with Windows Live Messenger 2011

    Dear Community,
    I've always used WinAmp as my default music player, which worked like a charm both at playing music and showing my 'Currently Listening To' in WLM 2011.
    However, I personally think iTunes has better library management, and since I bought an iPod Shuffle (4GB, small stick without buttons, think 3th gen?) I needed it anyway just to be able to listen to my music when I'm in the bus or train, so I made the switch.
    It really works quite nice after you get to know the program, minor flaws here and there, but no really big deals. (except the lack of FLAC support, had to recode like 60% of my library, I like lossless audio without a proprietary codec)
    At least, not until I used it to show the currently playing song in WLM2011.
    Since upgrading from iTunes 9 to 10 (10.4.1.10 to be exact, and upgraded after a clean install of Windows 7 SP1, so to make it clear, iTunes 9 was not installed at the time I installed iTunes 10, nor were there any files or leftovers) it just keeps stealing focus. Not from my browser, or other apps, but from itself!
    Whenever I try to edit a song's information and WLM is running, it keeps popping back to the main window, which makes correcting songs (like putting the artist in the right column) a real pain in the ***.
    I'm running W7 x64 SP1 (build 7601), all drivers are up to date, WLM 2011 (build 15.4.3538.513) and, if it makes a difference, WLM Plus 5.03.0.716.
    I already have it as 'Default Program' for all possible file extensions.
    I have looked through these forums to see if there's a similar problem and found many, however, they all apply to older versions (iTunes 6 and 7 or MSN 7 and 8) and don't seem to work with this new version.
    If any of you know a way to keep iTunes as my default player and show the currently playing son in WLM2011 without iTunes stealing its own focus, I'd love to hear it!
    If there's any more information needed about my system, let me know, I will try to provide
    Thanks in advance!

    hi there, i've had this same issue too for a while...so basically...the problem only happens if you run windows live messenger with compatability mode and while you tell windows live messenger to show what music you're listening to.
    SO the solution to this problem is to:
    1. turn off compatability mode
    OR
    2. turn off "show imformation about the song im listening to" to on windows live messenger
    personally i'd rather just turn off "show imformation about the song im listening to" because windows live messanger tends to crash a lot when compatability mode is turned off.
