I also left a bunch of posts on your Spaces blog where hemingray helped me a
bunch too. I did try to run 2009 install initially but after 3 days the
sequence of events is getting a bit blurred...lol. I seem to remember that
it told me not possible as I already had it installed. It wouldn't allow me
to uninstall either. Your ZapMessenger only took out the tray icon and the
WLM link in the Start>Programs area. The rest is pretty much annotated in
you Live Spaces blog site. Your Spaces site was what really helped me get
over this issue...thanks mate.
I agree, 8.5 would be preferable over 8.1 , but it wouldn't let me go
straight to 8.5 as a download...so maybe I'll sneak up on it from the lower
side ie 8.1. Can you see any reason why 8.5 would not load? Is it built of
what the 8.1 already has on my system?
I sure don't want to temp fate and screw this up again when I'm happy enough
with 8.1. I've already started to get the popups suggestion to 'downgrade'
to 2009...lol ...annoying eh?
Not sure if I can answer much more here that isn't already layed out in you
Spaces blog pages. Thanks again mate for all your help...BTW, if you ever
stop into Elora, I'll buy ya a beer or two or three. ;-)
Oh here's the other blog where I got a bunch of help too...
