Border around Windows Live Messenger Windows

I just installed the newest version of windows live messenger. Versio
2009 (Build 14.0.8050.1202). I have vista 32 bit. On the older versio
of WLM I was able to hide the windows border, but I can't seem to do s
in the new version. Is it possible? Screenshot below for clarity.

Upper right hand side, there's a small box, under the list which appears
check to see whether 'show menu bar' is unticked, if not then remove the
tick, that hopefully will remove the border.

HTH,
Edna.

The border in the latest version of WLM cannot be hidden. The menu bar can be
hidden, but the window frame remains.

Are you sure or is it dependent on the OS? I have 2 PC, one Vista and the
other XP. Both have the latest version of WLM. On the XP machine, there is
no border and on the Vista machine there is a border. The menu option to
show and hide menu bar has no effect on the border, it just hides/shows the
menu bar.

I've tried a number of things and can't change either installation.

As sure as I can be with Messenger 2009 on a variety of PCs that I use. XP,
Vista 32 bit, Vista 64 bit, Windows 7 beta 32 bit and 64 bit. In all cases, I
cannot remove the window border. I have one machine still running 8.5 on Vista
32 and there is not window border visible when I unselect the "show menu bar"
option.
