  1. I just installed windows 8 today on a new harddisk and try to play around. This is one of the new features Windows 8 has. However, I cannot see a list of the people who are online as I’m using Live Messenger on Windows 7. This is very annoying. As well for adding new “threads”. This is very annoying, you can only add one contact per time, which means if you have a list of 50 or 100 people, you have to do that 50 or 100 times. I’m still trying to figure it out though.

  2. I am using messenger in the desktop view of Win8 and I can’t stop the secondary/duplicate messenger windows from popping up on the right hand side of my screen. It is very annoying and I am tempted to uninstall the entire messenger/mail from the Win8 start screen. I just want to use the traditional messenger window – how do I stop the Win8 pop ups? I can find no way to change settings on the app. Thanks

  3. Can you sync it with your phone so you dont have to pick up your phone and you can type instead of text? that would be prime!

  4. i hav sync my FB acc on win8 messaging but i can’t see who online..and 1 more thing,i can’t get message or PM from my friend..

  6. I have problem with this app. When I right Click on the screen for the pop-down menu, I can’t select Online. It says am not connect to internet… pls help
