I recently got an add request on MSN Messenger that was from a (What I assume was a spam e-mail and add) and ever since then, my display name will not save. (I didn't accept the add, by the way. I hit block and not show on contact list) It reverts to my e-mail address where the name will be: Example "JohnDoe@email.com says..." instead of "John Doe says...." I have went in and changed my display name and hit just "okay" and it worked. Then I signed back on (and every since then, it reverts back to e-mail every time) and it went back to e-mail address for name. So I changed it again, and changed another setting, and hit "Apply" and then "Okay" I signed back out and on and it's back at e-mail as name again. Also, ever since it happened, some of my contact list has their display names as e-mails as well, then some have the names they chose.

Any idea why my name isn't saving? It only started since the spam e-mail add. ]]> Windows Live Messenger Support Sx9 http://www.bigblueball.com/forums/windows-live-messenger-support/48548-display-name-not-saving.html How to create your own dynamic display picture in WLM2009 http://www.bigblueball.com/forums/windows-live-messenger-support/48487-how-create-your-own-dynamic-display-picture-wlm2009.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:19:48 GMT Change display picture. 2.

  1. Click on Tools > Change display picture.
  2. In the window that opens, choose either webcam picture or dynamic picture. Both enable you to either snap a picture of yourself (and your loved one if you prefer) or record a short 4-second video. The dynamic display picture on the other hand, allows you to record four other pictures of yourself, coupled to these emoticons: smile, wink, cool, and sad.
  3. Click Done, close the window and you should see your live picture appearing. That's all there is to it. Have fun!

I had installed Windows XP SP2 on new HD (WD Caviar Black Edition 640GB)
Trying to install Windows Live messenger gives me an error:
1) If i use the small web install file , it download all the components and at the end of the process it shows me "roll back" and it shows an error number ( i dont remember what was it) but it talks about Admin. privilege or no enough space.

2) Trying to install using the offline file (~122 MB) shows Error 80004005 with "source: HIG".

Notes:
1) No problem with my internet connection
2) Home PC (No Proxy)
3) No Antivirus or Firewall installed
4) Im on Admin. account
5) I used original CD of Windows XP SP2 and then tried on Windows XP SP3
6) I have enough disk space (~640 GB free)
7) Tried to install when all my PC drivers where installed.

So I'm sorry if anybody else posted or if this is solved already (I'd be quite happy, actually), but at least I searched.

Anyway.
About almost an year ago, when I formatted my hard drive, WLM09 worked fine. One day, it suddently didn't anymore. It connected fine, in the same time as before, everything working fine. And then, some seconds later, either I did something or not, it would just disconnect. No error, no nothing, just a disconnect, without even trying to reconnect. And it would happen over and over again.

I'm pretty sure I didn't change anything in the computer, nor on the firewall, nor on the router. Just nothing.
Other versions worked fine. I had been using MSN 8.5 until today.
So, today, as most of you probably know already, Microsoft forced the update to WLM09, so you can't use MSN anymore.

So I faced the nemesis, and installed WLM09 again. And again, the same problem.

Any solutions?

(tl,rd version: wlm disconnects when I connect, no errors, didn't change anything, already reinstalled, other msn clients work fine, has been happening for months.) ]]> Windows Live Messenger Support Ionworm http://www.bigblueball.com/forums/windows-live-messenger-support/48283-wlm09-almost-instant-disconnects.html
