Windows Live Messenger Music Plug-in
Most interesting thing I have seen to date in Vista:
I disabled the "Windows Live Messenger Music Plug-in" in WMP11, and suddenly it vanished! Gone! Not to be seen again! I honestly have no idea where it went, but I do know it is no longer in my WMP plugins directory, so if anyone would be so kind to send it over?!? Now here is the kicker part: I went to the WMP download site to reinstall 11, and it gave me a typical error saying I am running vista and this install was intended for XP SP2. Fair enough, so I decide compatibility mode it, see if I can get it to work, right? WRONG... up pops the "we need to validate your copy of windows" screen, and of course the validation tool busts and directs me to the validation tool download page. This also is (of course) intended for SP2, so it busts. Anyways, long story short: stuck without the feature over here. Not the end of the world, more its just something I noticed and thought I would 'beta test' further. James |

Windows Live Messenger Music Plug-in
Please do not try to reinstall components such as WMP11 or IE7, as the
versions that are in Vista contain newer code than that of WMP11 Beta and IE7 RC1. -- Tom Ziegmann Microsoft Certified Professional Windows Vista / Server Longhorn TechBeta Tester Windows Server 2003 SP2 TechBeta Tester "James Millistver" wrote in message ...

It could be anything. -- Rock [MVP Windows Shell/User] |
