I downloaded Windows Live Messenger 9 awhile ago. Was not a big fan of it but figured I'd get used to it. Then some not worth it things became apparent:

•It wouldn't let me send ink messages to people anymore
•It wouldn't let me fiddle with the webcam settings while the webcam was in use.
•Also, you had to jump through several different elements to alter said settings, even when the webcam was off. ((Instead of right clicking the conveniently located webcam icon and choosing to go to the settings, you had to get to the inconveniently located Options, to the audio and video settings, then page through audio stuff you don't care about to get to the webcam stuff.))
•On top of that, it was mirroring my webcam and I couldn't locate how to change that.

This, in combination with the unnecessarily drastic layout changes made it very undesirable.

So I decided to uninstall it, and it was under some weird name in the add or remove program . . . So I ended up getting ZapMessenger to uninstall it (recommended) . . . And had to go on a little epic advenjourney through the internet to find a functioning download of a previous version.

I found it here: http://www.msgstuff.com/downloads/file/140-windows-live-messenger-8513021018/
(they also have older versions)




I just thought I'd share in case anyone else was becoming likewise frustrated. :)
