Today, my Windows live Messenger started prompting me to install an update. has anyone done it yet? If so, does the update do anything bad to any screen readers?
TIA,
Al
it's not too nice with jaws versions under 10. And with 10, you need to get the latest update, which came out this week.
Even with the new update, while it's usable, it annoyed me enough that I downgraded after a few days of using it.
I, on the other hand, sort of like the new interface, but I'm one who kinda likes odd things.
However, if for some reason you absolutely need the new JAWS, expect to use the new WLM. The old one may not work.
yeah, i tried downgrading but it said i needed to upgrade anyway.
i got the new jaws installed now and it's okay
it's not the best messenger release... I happened to stumble across it when getting Windows Live essentials, but the moment I saw that interface I freaked and uninstalled it. Then I googled a standalone installer for messenger 8.5 and that hasn't asked me to upgrade yet, or it might of but I just didn't see the message. lol. But I'm running 8.5 here which is probably the most accessible messenger thus far which isn't that old (yet)

It seemed to me that the new ver of windows livve took more away than it added.
hey to me it is the same as the old one except the sounds pannel is different. Anyways, I love all new stuff lol so I definitely enjoy it. That search thing at the top I actually use a lot.
well i down load it yesterday and i think it sucks!!!! how would i go about getting the old one back
how do you downgrade messenger? or, could someone send me an older version?
thanks.
Is there any way to get the newest version of jaws with out a key. I have jaws 10, but not the latest update.
until my eight point one version of messenger becomes unusible, i'm using that.
Today I just installed that update, and the only problem i am having is that Jaws no longer reads the messages in conversations with the alt and number keys. I have noticed that jaws will read the messages when the screene is minomized, and if I root my cursers. Does anyone know if there is a script that I can get to work with Jaws 9?
Blessings,

did you have to enter a key?
For a download of the older version of messenger go to oldversion.com
just what is the newest version of WLM, and how do you update to the latest version of JFW10? and if I download it, the new WLM, how do I get plus back? and just exactly what is wrong with WLM and JFW?
to answer the JFW update question, i believe jaws 10.0.1139 (update) is free to all jaws 10 users. try "check for updates" from the jaws help menu. if that doesn't work, go to the FS website and download it from there.
I hate the new version of windows live messenger! I tried using it with jaws 9 and it's just useless. I can't get a working crack of jaws 10, so can't really use the new windows live messenger + so just stuck with the old one.
Does anybody know if the new version of messenger works with window-eyes seven?
hey, how can you get system access to work properly with the new windows live?;
i've tried downgrading the new wlm,and it keeps me asking me to upgrade,but i don't want to upgrade is there a way to get it to stop i've got it working on my desktop but need to install on my laptop,and running jaws 9.
thanks,and if anyone can help it wil be appreciated.

Every time i sign in to MSN, it gives me an install alert. I just it escape to close that dialog, but I wish it wouldn't keep doing this, because there's no way in hell i'm upgrading, even though I have JAWS ten on both this computer and my desktop.
I experience this issue in JAWS9.0 as well. I don't think there is a way to resolve it. Unles there are updated scripts in JAWS10, I suppose one could compile them under JAWS9 and get the support. And I believe all of FreedomScientific's scripts are open-source anyway; it shouldn't be that difficult. Unless, of course, there are scripting changes in JAWS10 that JAWS9 does not know about. In that case obviously the scripts would not compile. I do not have JAWS10 and do not know the script names or anything like that.
I am running the latest version of 10 and Windows Live Messenger 2009. I love it and though it says bullet before reading every it is great.
