Is anyone having problems with the new MSN (8.1 beta) that has just come out? Espcially those running RC2. I downloaded it last night and installed it but once I minimise then enlarge it again it comes up with an unspecified error and shuts down.

I tried rolling back to a previous version but it just tells me i need to upgrade and i cant use that version (downloaded beginning of november, not sure what version). Can someone provide me with the previous version to this new one so i can see if that works?

Thanks
 
The 8.1 beta is full of bugs. It keeps asking you to add contacts you already have and wont block people properly to name but two.
if you want to go back to 8.0 (The current stable release) then go to http://messenger.msn.com and download it from there
be sure to uninstall MSN 8.1 from the control panel first though
 
Ah ok thanks. It bemuses me a little as to why it has come up as "new version of msn available" if it is a beta version? Meh

Thanks :)
 
I got this yesterday, if I'd known it was a beta I wouldn't have. Bit strange, it usually only tells you to download final versions.
No issues with it though.

It hasn't for me - it may be that if you've downloaded a beta in the past your account has been tagged as a beta testing account?
