Social \ MSN 8.5 BETA (Leaked)

Kudos: 8,869

Mates: 95

I will say this once and once only. This is a BETA (meaning it may contain bugs and could potentially crash your PC). Now on with that yes it has been leaked, meaning not yet released. But it is here for download. There are 2 files to download. One from a site ive never heard of (Works so i guess its trusted) and one from my site (TeamXdesignS). One is the MSN which i might point out is in Spanish therfore you will need to download the English language pack from my site. Below they are. PLEASE REMEMBER TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! Its harder than you think.

MSN 8.5 BETA: random.menthix.net/

English Language Pack: www.teamxdesigns.downthe.net/

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download both files stated above.
2. When downloaded the 'ES_Install_WLMessenger_8_5.exe' file, Open it and a Installer in Spanish language should appear.
3. You will have to try to work out the language yourself or find someone Spanish to help. Its fairly easy to understand.
4. When it comes up to 3 options to install, click the last option.
5. After it installs, it will ask you to restart in Spanish. Its the first option.
6. When rebooted, DO NOT START UP MSN!!!!!!!!!111111111

7. Instead, go into your PC's harddrive (My computer) and look for a folder named 'Program files'.
8. Now, in Program files, look for another folder named 'Windows Live'.
9. Now inside that folder there should be a folder named 'Messenger'. Go into that.
10. Now heres where our 2nd downloaded file comes into use www.teamxdesigns.downthe.net/
11. Copy that file and Paste it into the folder named 'Messenger'.
12. It will ask if you want to overwrite; Click Yes.
13. Now get out of that and go to START then All Programs and look for MSN (It should be there or in a folder named 'Windows Live'.
14. It should now start up in english with a new version of MSN.

I like how it has been made much more lighter in appearance. Closer to the MSN 7.0 look but more combined with the features, simplicity and setting of 8.1. I'll get the full release when it comes out for sure.

Or you could just get the old msgslang file from your old msn folder, move it to the new folder, and rename it msgslang.8.5.1235.0517.dll....

I'm with Shinny here. Why use a buggy version of msn, when you can just use a fine normal version.

repopulating said: are you kidding? its tonnes different

And according to this comment on the site Jo3L just hooked me up with

Reviewer: AquaDex
Version: 9.0 Beta Build 1802

Im only giving this thing a 2 because it sure is great, but takes way too much RAM, over 70MB on my machine (MSN 9 + MSN Messenger (because you can't close it with MSN 9 open) + msniasvc.exe (MSN's Internet Access System Service)), which is even more than AOL 9 on my machine (~60MB)

Ugh...

Ugh indeed. I know from experience that MSN 8 was heavy enough on the RAM but version 9 ... 70mb for instant messaging is too much to bother with for me. I'll keep on 8 for a long time I think.
