Anyone have a download link for Messenger 8.5?

[sol]

Nope sorry, I'm still on MSN 7 lol

[Tanser_Man]

It's a beta version that has been leeked onto the net....

The only link i could find was the one which is below but you need an MSN account to be able to install it....

its all in spanish.

Why bother when can use Pidgin to access all you messaging accounts at the same time.

It even has a in-built spell checker.

right first download

KEEP MSN CLOSED EXIT IT IF OPENS

Then download ww.random.menthix.net/msgslang.8.5.1235.0517.dll

too
C:/ Programme Files / Windows Live / Messenger /

And then paste the new dll to replace the old one and it would be in english, make sure all msn programmes are closed whilst doing this


if you still dont understand PM Me,

What is so good about it?

[Matt]

It has an awesome new interface!

[Sam]

Well they say to be really careful downloading this as there is a lot of virus acttached, i downloaded it but then uninstalled as it was mucking my pc up

[Matt08]

I've downloaded it now and it's fabulous, i'm never going back to the earlier version of it.

[Nicola]

Wow, I know you're trying to convince me to get the upgrade - is the download safe and everything?

[Sam]

not yet its still got bugs, i read not to download it from many sources because of secret files attached to it

read www.mess.be

[ShadowEye]

i got it from here

all you do is unrar it and the password is vlm, when you have done that copy and paste the file to C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger and thats it, if it asks to replace then hit yes

if you don't have winrar here is the file so you can download it straight

for the wallpapers thats up to you, you can make them yourself on photoshop and i know you are good so shouldn't be a problem all you do is select how big you want to make your wallpaper, the default paper is 297x470 and thats for the small side look like i use, the dimensions for the full view are 1262x746 when you have made your wallpaper you MUST save it as a GIF and it MUST be called lvback, when you have saved it just place the file into your C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger and replace the old 1, sign into MSN and you have a nice wallpaper, remember to try and keep them dark because the text on this skin is white, if you use a different skin then just set the wallpaper to the right contrast so you can see your text

if theres anything anyone needs just PM me

[Matt]

Thanks fat.rat, not a problem about the background, I'm just bored with the default skin!

[ben_evans_07]

[Matt]

I would just like to point out to all of those thinking of downloading that 8.5 isn't yet compatible with Messenger Plus.
