TheCroW,
BING is Microsoft's new Search engine.

Mmm, are you sure it's from the live.com main page? I never go there but did
look now and it's a redirect to something weird called Bing? Maybe you
downloaded something infected form that (maybe fishy?) site?

Greetings scuzzy,

I see the same screen here, except there is a "Suivant" (In English, "Next") button at the
bottom right-hand side.

I tried a few things to try and get the same result you did without success -- including
disabling my network connection and uninstalling Messenger. Neither seemed to change
anything and the button remained.

However, it does do that small bit of downloading data at the beginning and uses Internet
Explorer to do it. Is your Internet Explorer is healthy condition (able to browse, etc.)?
If not, then that could be the problem.

Regardless, there's only 10 of them, so I've zipped up the emoticons and you can just
manually add the ones you want into Messenger yourself. Therefore bypassing this installer:

Yes it looks like Google clone with background picture.

Never mind about emoticons. I solved the problem by maximizing the window
using another small utility. Instal button was on far right hidden by
clipped window.

Thank you very much Jonathan for the zip file. Problem with me was that the
"Suivant" button was on far right side and was not visible since window was
not resizable. I used a utility called Pistachio to resize its window and
the button became visible enabling me to install.

BTW your blog and resource web sites are excellent. Yesterday I spent hours
going through them in detail and learned a lot. Thanks a lot for your hard
work.

Kind Regards

Hi,

Ah, I suspected something like that. Good work. Unfortunately there also didn't appear to
be any keyboard combination to trigger the button either. Just out of curiosity, what locale
do you have Windows in as I'm curious to why it would be so off the screen -- for instance,
are you using a RTL (right to left) language?

Thanks for your kind comments, I really appreciate it

Whoever created that installer package should have left Min/Max buttons
intact. Another point about this software that it changed my home page and
search engine preferences in IE and FireFox.

Anyway. Yes I have added Arabic/Urdu locale (RTL) as secondary language. OS
default is US English.

Yeah, Google invented search engines so therefore every other search engine
is a clone... You are a genius! And just because you said last time, why
don't you tell us again for the last time that Bing is just another Google
clone.
