I have been using Live email for about 2 months now and only use Messenger so I am alerted to new email. This morning I logged into Windows Messenger from the taskbar, it logged me in, alerted me to my emails but when I clicked on it it vanished from the screen and from the taskbar. I went into Start menu and clicked on Messenger, logged on, it alerted me to my emails, then vanished etc etc. So I went into my email page via www.live.co.uk and it tells me I am logged onto Meseenger and listed some friends that were also logged on, but I cant get the Messenger screen/list up? I havent changed any settings - and have stried to click onto the menu to look at my settings but Messenger justs vanished!

Any help would be good - I'm not great with computers though :-(

 

Thanks

My friend doesn't get my friend request and neither do I when he sends me a request. We can not connect  and chat. 

Apparently when he tries to connect to me the error message states: "Your done! It looks like (my email address) does not use windows live yet. We sent an email message to them with instructions on how to connect with you on windows live." 

My email address is correct in the error message so I know he has typed it in correctly. Though I didn't receive an email with instructions?

Do you know how to resolve so we can connect please? 

Thanks,

Adam
I'm getting an error I've never seen before when I'm trying to connect via WM this morning. I'm getting the usual "We can't sign you in to Windows Messenger" error, but the error code is cffff82e, which neither Bing nor Google has been much help with. The only references I could find were a couple unanswered questions on the Brazil/Portuguese section of this site.

I'm using Windows Vista x 64

Recently I uninstalled Windows Live Essential 2011 because did not work a cause of Sidebybiside error.

I reinstall Windows Messanger 2009.

My webcam camera individually work fine when I press the  Microsoft Webcam icon on the desktop, I can see myself in the screen

When I tried to make a video call the connection go through, ( I can see the other person, but the other person cannot see mi ), the webcam does not show my image, appear full of black line and has no sound, similar to a TV with the cable disconnect (meaning no having signal ).

How can solve this problem ?

I am running WINDOWS XP. After a hardware breakdown, the technician re-installed a number of programs I had lost. I now find that I have WINDOWS MESSENGER, which looks totally different and does not have the same facilities as the Messenger Program I had before. I assume that I need to install WINDOWS LIVE MESSENGER. I need advice whether to uninstall Windows Messenger before downloading and installing Windows Live Messenger, and the best way to go about it.  Thank you for your help.
