Laurence--Trials Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) I downloaded the new msn today and i just tryed to go on webcam but it doesn't seem to be available any more, I can only do calls / video calls. I completely suck when it comes to computers so how to i get it back to the old msn? where i can just use webcam?

Jamie_Trials Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Go to your add/remove programmers type thing... uninstall msn fully. http://www.google.co.uk/search?rlz=1C1AVSX_enGB404GB404&aq=0&oq=windows+message&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=windows+messenger#hl=en&expIds=25657,27213,27868,27886,27927,28066&xhr=t&q=windows+messenger+download&cp=18&pf=p&sclient=psy&rlz=1C1AVSX_enGB404GB404&source=hp&aq=0&aqi=&aql=&oq=windows+messenger+&gs_rfai=&pbx=1&fp=b5e77c7d44f79299 Pretty sure you'll be able to find the version you had on there. If that fails i'll be surprised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How am i this bad at computers? :$ you'll need to close the msn programe if you have it open atm, then go to the start menu, and where it says search, type in msn, and it should come up with 3 things, you need to click the uninstall programe, then find msn, click and uninstall Edited December 10, 2010 by alistair14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence--Trials Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) I noticed this too, is it a bug? Would have thought they'd rectify it pretty quickly if it was. Hopefully! The newest MSN is bullshit. Avoid at all costs. Agreed. Still being gay for me.. looks like i'll have another go at uninstalling and getting the old one. EDIT: if it is a bug as suggested.. maybe it wont be fixed until like money seeing as its the weekend now.

MadManMike Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 I fixed mine, I use Skype instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 I fixed mine, I use Skype instead. Msn is turning into skype.. infact it practicly is skype now that you cant just use cams and not video call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Yeah except Skype doesn't take a year to load, isn't system power hogging and is actually quite easy to use. MSN went shit about 3 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarf Shortage Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 I can use webcams without going into a call, it's pure awesome. I'm having so much fun right now, I'm so glad I didn't upgrade. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 It's a well known fact facebook killed MSN. I'm doing my part to get as many people over to skype as possible, but they keep resisting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 What exactly sucks about Skype? It's literally better than MSN in every single way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 ...Do webcams without calling - just mute your mic on there, it's only one button ...have smilies (i know this one is immature) - Yes, there's quite a few. ...talk normally by typing? - Yes. ...Have your name up top? if you get me? - If you mean change your name to annoying shit, no. Which is a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) Would i beable to get my girlfriend to email me the msn files so i can download it and have the 'normal' one? EDIT: and if i could how could i/she do it? Edited December 11, 2010 by Laurence--Trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 whats the issue with not wanting to do video calls on msn? if you want to see them but not allow them to see you turn you webcam off like wise if its the sound your bothered about? theres icons on the page to mute your sound or theirs. iv not found any problems using this new version of msn messenger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
