Here's a different method than Mr Slave's to prevent v8.5 giving you update nags. It worked for me on XP, with only very minor side effects of the sort that don't matter. Could be a better method in that other people's Messenger clients won't think you have a more recent version of Messenger than you do, which could mess up the working of some of the more advanced features of their program when trying to use them with you.

(1) Delete all program-created shortcuts to Windows Messenger in your Start menu, the Desktop, and Quick Launch section of the Taskbar (if the latter exist). If you're not using Classic Start Menu, check the Start menu carefully for said shortcuts via All Programs. You do the above because otherwise they're non-standard shortcuts which attempt to 'repair' the installation after you modify it.

(2) Make shortcuts in the places you deleted them, in the usual manner, to msnmsgr.exe , the Windows Live Messenger executable (use Search to find it if you're not sure where it is). Rename them to, err, Windows Live Messenger.

(3) On every shortcut you create, right click->Properties. Select the Compatibility tab. Tick 'Run this program in compatibility mode for' and select 'Windows 2000' in the scrollbox. Then click the OK button to save the setting.

Voilà, you have done it!

Good choice of program version BTW, prior versions have security issues so they should not be used.

Be sure to patch the program with "A-Patch for Windows Live Messenger 8.5", available here:
A-Patch for Windows Live Messenger, MSN Messenger & Yahoo! Messenger . If a person in real life spat an advertisement at you with every sentence, you would surely disable them too! F*** you Micro$oft.

Enjoy your 'rectified' Windows Live Messenger

Just like to dive in and say a few correction. It's Ms. Slave.
Thank you.

Anyways, it's just a joke and i hope you accept that as a joke.

Patch is always good for your computer. Be sure that you are using right patch file.
It is better to use linux for those who do not want to give money microsoft (like me)!

Hey Guys.

I tried this

Try following these procedures

Download resource hacker - hacker is a free tool that can help you modify, rename, add, delete and extract resources in 32bit Windows executables and resource file.

1. Run ResHacker.exe
2. Open msnmgr.exe it is normally located on C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger
3. Expand "Version Info" then expand the 1 folder
4. Click on the 1033 gear icon
5. Scroll down and look for the following values

VALUE "FileVersion", "12.3.4567"
VALUE "ProductVersion", "12.3.4567"

Those are MSN's file version number replace them with the current MSN number. The newest version as of this post is: 14.0.8064

This will trick the system that you already have the latest version so it will not bug you anymore

And it didnt work, i changed all the corect values so what is goin on i changed the values to
14,0,8064,0 and that didnt work so i googled and found the newer version
14,0,8064,0206 however that still didnt work any suggestions?


P.S. The New Windows Live is F*CK*D
