Windows Live Messenger FAIL

Live Messenger has now forced everyone to upgrade to the most recent version. A couple people in our office needed to do the update. One of them had a major issue after the upgrade and could not sign in. No error message, just a redirection back to the sign in screen.

After much pain I found this blog on Windows Live Messenger Sign in Fails but no Error Message and it fixed my issue.

Basically he says to change the Compatibility mode settings for the sign in exe to Windows 95. This should not be the fix. A modern version of Messenger should not require Windows 95 mode.

Anyway I just wanted to gripe and give this excellend guy some links.
