Hi People!
I know the new Windows has a built in messenger system, but I think it's awful.
I can't get it to use my MSN account, it will only use my microsoft account, which is not the same e-mail address, and even if I could get it to do what I want, I'll still miss my taskbar and the flashing icons telling me who's talking to me. I also generally dislike the idea of not having a clear idea of which system you're 'talking on'. You just open a conversation, not knowing whether it will go through Facebook messenger, MSN messenger, whatever.
So I installed good old MSN messenger 8.5 beta. Then I tried installing Facebook messenger, as I don't like in-browser chatting (again; No taskbar, no overview). Doesn't work. Gives me an error 1603.
No solutions on the net so far.
Any ideas?
