So, for a while now, I've been part of the beta testing for WLM and usually, it is a pastime that I'm quite fond of, until WLM2009 Beta arrived on the scene.
Indeed, when I first started to test it, I was convinced it was the most awesome thing since GUI computers, until one very fine day, I happened upon "Windows Live Messenger cannot sign you in because your contact list is not available." WTF? C'mon, I just freaking used the thing and it signed the hell in, don't do this to me!!!
After my initial panic for all of approximately 8 seconds, I decided to try some solutions. Flushed DNS, didn't do shit. Deleted contact information, fruitless. Check connectivity, did it like 5 times, still nothing. Finally decided to google the error code and they came up with running the regsvr processes, so, I tried it, no avail.
At my wits end, I opened Task Manager and ended wlcomm.exe and msnmgr.exe, reopened the program and it worked! Yay!! Then, up comes another silly error...., when I IM contacts, they don't receive them...By now, I was seriously sleep deprived and ebuddy looked like a welcome solution, but I stuck to it, then when I right clicked on the messenger icon in the taskbar, there was no sign out option, neither sign in, I exited, then restarted and all was well.
All in all, WLM2009 Beta is utter shite, it headaches me, but I still use it because it looks "cool" and some masochistic side of me actually like solving errors. Now that I'm done ranting about it's cons, ^^ Download and try it and experience the pros with me. :3
