Hello,
hi, I just tried out the new windows live msgr beta, but I found that all my uploaded emoticons are not shown on the chat box when I want to send them, and I can't copy emoticons right from the chat box like it was before,when I use the previous version (windows live 8)
secondly, I can't still share folder, either from my previous msn version, or this beta version.
need help pls, thank u much dear all :)
Hey, i'm using 8.5 and was having the same problem. After frustrating searches that lead to absolutely nothing, I decided to go in on it myself. I looked through the options and went to the TOOLS menu, where I found a link for......now brace yourself..........."SHOW EMOTICONS". I clicked it, and bingo...they work again. Hope that solves your problems. Solved mine :D
No this is a not working. I have even checked all my settings, they are perfect. Nothing works for me. It is still giving me the same emoticon problem. Custom ones never work for new windows live. It sucks. 9 was so much better.
holey shit thanks lol I feel so stupid for not doing that before its been pissin me off too ever sence I downloaded the never verison I guess you never think that itll be in the most stupidist place when it actually is lol
hello im here to solve your problem hopefull! I had the same problem a little while ago and I found the soloutin :D when you are talking to someone on the new msn if you press the "alt" key on the keybored a little menu will appear along the top of the screen scroll over to "tools" and follow down the list untill you come across ( SHOW EMOTIONS ) click on that and then try a smily face such as :D in ur send box you should then be able to use emotions again :) if the show emotionss has a tick by the side and still no luck with the emotions then it is a problem with windows live messenger :) good luck guys hope I helped you as much as I could email me if it worked :) x
Okay this happened with me. What to do it click on you name on your ocntact screen. then click tool. Click messages and thenclick show emotions. press aply. then you cancel down all your people down your talking to. and woo. it works :)
GO ONTO TOOLS
THEN OPTIONS
THEN MESSAGES
THEN CLICK ON THE BOX WHICH SAYS SHOW EMOTIONS
THEN CLICK ON THE BOX WHICH SAYS SHOW CUSTOM EMOTIONS
THEN CLICK APPLY
THEN OK
PRESTO!
IN A FEW MINUTES IT SHUD WORK X
I Get The Exact Same Thing , I've Tried Repairing , And I've Tried Going On the Emotion Tab Thingy Ticking Custom Emotions On < You 3 Try To Do The Tab Thing On Options , See If It works For You.
I Just Degraded , And Downloaded Messenger Plus! And Choosed A New Skin.
if u use beta msn and your emotions don't show up go to "Show menu" then press "Tools", in there there press the last option -->"options". In there on the left there is a list of words. Select "messages" and then tick "show emoticons" and "show custom emoticons"
Just to share same issue with WLM 9... after follow the tool\option\... click show emotion and click show custom emotion... it still not work... then I accidentally find something 'show emotion'... I click on it..then the emotion show again..sorry that I cant find this "show emotion' again... so try to search u... good luck... ;)
Hi Just add on... after you goto tool\option\message to check 'show emotion' and 'show custome emotion'...
the emotion still not work...Then I just find out one thing... you try to open a chat windows with one of your contact (double click one of you contact in your contact list, chat window will pop up). Then press "Alt' and you will see one tool bar will show up (you will see 'file, edit, actions, tool and help). Once again, click on the 'tools', then you will see there is a selection of 'show emotion'... click on it(show emotion) and you will see there is a 'tick' sign. Then the emotion will shown properly.
I had teh same problem with the bit in the tools menu bot working. It sounds stupid, but to quote The IT Crowd, "Have you tried scitching it off and on again?" I completely closed Windows Messenger, opened it again, and now it seems to be working fine.
X!
mine do not show up and when you click to open the emtiocons box opens then you selevt one and it appears in your text box but when I hit enter it doesn't show up?
Ok guys I have found the answer. Now, you CAN go into the Tools menu by clicking on your name at the top of the msn MAIN window (not a convo). Turn ON the emotion and custom emoticons (under MESSAGES in the list). Now start a convo, if this STILL doesnt work (what happened to me), then press ALT, and a menu will come up. Click TOOLS and go down to where it says SHOW EMOTICONS and click that. For some reason, it only works if THAT setting is checked.
this is brutal. I hate the new messenger live beta. my songs dont show and i've tried everything. my emotions dont show on my screen but on my friends? its messed up and I hate it.
My emoticons al off a sudden are not showing as well. I have a vista business and I am trying to follow "tools-options-etc" but I cannot find messages. Can anyone help me?
If you have the latest version of messenger, go and click on tools, the word message doesn't appear right away, at the bottom it says options, click on that and on the right it appears message, click on it and then click show emoticons, apply and it's supposed to be working!!!
