Download Windows Live Messenger 2009 Official Final Version
This blog is from our content partner Raymond
Just woke up today and got a news that the most popular instant messenger Windows Live Messenger has been updated to 2009! I immediately updated it and found that the interface is much nicer with a lot of flashy effects and shadows like what you usually see in Windows Vista. There are a lot of new features and more than 200 bugs have been fixed.
Usually I am well informed when a new Windows Live Messenger is about to release but this time is like a big surprise to me. Have you noticed that a lot of software released this year goes with "2009"? This is like the first time Windows Live Messenger includes the year as a version number although they still maintain the internal build version number.
What's new in Windows Live Messenger 2009:
- User interface has been updated, including the toasts
- Sign-in screen has been restyled
- New program/tray icon
- Updated e-mail icon showing the number of new e-mails more clearly
- Updated Group window header
- SkyDrive officially replaces sharing folders feature (Actions > View your online files)
- Expanded What's new area shows more details (eg. complete Tweets, added pictures, etc.) and Post a note has been updated for some items
- What's new per contact in conversation window
- You cannot choose your own signature sound any longer. You can only assign signature sounds to your contacts
- Webcam snapshot has been renamed to Webcam Picture
- Tile with moods has been renamed to Dynamic Picture
- Modify moods, videos and/or pictures of previously made Dynamic Pictures
- Change scene option added to status dropdown list
- More default Scenes
- Updated and new static/animated display pictures featuring the Messenger buddy, Morty and Daisy
- Windows 7 Jumplists
- Save pictures presented through PhotoShare (Previous photo/Next photo/Save photo)
- What's new list options accessible through an icon next to What's new header, or from a button in Options > Layout
I am sure there are a bunch of other new features which haven't been discovered yet. I've chatted with one of my cousin and everything just looks great! So go ahead and update your Windows Live Messenger to 2009 if you haven't done so. Mess Patch and A-Patch haven't been updated to work with MSN 2009 but the Messenger Plus! Live is compatible with this build although not fully functional. We'll just have to wait a little longer for the patchers to be updated and I'm sure it won't be long.
To download and install the latest Windows Live Messenger 2009, you'll have to download Windows Live Installer which contains installation files for all software programs inside the Windows Live products, such as Windows Mail, Photo Gallery, Toolbar, Writer, and etc. By default all program will be selected, so if you don't need them, just uncheck all of it and make sure that only Messenger is checked. If you already have the old version of Windows Live Messenger installed, you will see that Messenger is at the lower section that says "This program will be updated".

I have installed 2009 Build 14.0.8064.206 and have a problem of the e-mail inbox not opening when clicked the "OPen your e-mail inbox" icon. Very similar problem exists in the "Today" window where nothing opens when click on a news link or an e-mail in the Mail tab. I am running Windows XP SP3. Frustrated and any help would be appreciated,,,,Thx

hello
i have downloaded the new 2009 version.. but when i open a conversation window to chat with a friend.. the scene picture doesn't show up (like it did in the picture you have posted up in your article).. at first it did.. but then it only shows the sunray-like thing and only changes it's color according to the scene color. i did try to toggle: tools> use default scene.. i tried it with a tick next to it and without..
please help me and thanks in advance..
and i've been wondering.. why can't we share background pictures anymore?! plus the way the background pic covered the whole conversation chat was nice.. it'd be cool if that option is still available..as well as the newer style..

I downloaded this from the "official website' but the install had a problem and the windows would give an error every time I tried to log in. I removed the windows live from my computer and rebooted the system. When i tried to re-install the messenger, the downloader package said I had messenger still installed. I can not load the messenger now and I have no clue what to do….

I have tried on different days to update the new Windows Live Messenger. I have Version 2008 8.6.1302.1018. On both occasions, it does install but seconds after it opens, I get a window that says Windows has to shut down there is a problem. AppName: Windowscomm.exe Modver:5.1.2600.5512
Kernel:32.dll and some other things. Obviously I have a problem with my computer because everything else seems to be able to download and install and use the new 2009 version but me! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I deleted the new and am back on my old version.

Cound't set up the installer

The topic is quite trendy on the Internet right now. What do you pay attention to when choosing what to write ?

i do not like the 2009 version and would like to keep the old version.. i think it was called windows live 8.5. however my outlook mail got corrupted and so i had to download it all over again. now when i am trying to sign in to my old messenger a message is saying that i HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THE NEW ONE TO CONTINUE?????? Excuse me…do we no longer have a choice? I do not like the new version, it looks jacked up and I will either get back my old one or never speak on msn messenger again.

Its such as you learn my mind! You appear to grasp so much approximately this, like you wrote the guide in it or something. I feel that you simply could do with some percent to force the message house a little bit, however other than that, this is great blog. A great read. I'll definitely be back.
