Trying to synchronize...

I've seen a few posts on the web about it but no solutions - only about 1
out of ten times will I be able to sync shared folders in messenger - she's
having the same problem. We both are using messenger live 8.0178.
Neither of us have set any special folder permissions on the folders. Is
there a size limit to the folder? Is there a version of live messenger
that is less prone to this issue? We both have high speed connections. I
can remote into her computer no problem. I don't see any issues. I've
tried uninstalling messenger and reinstalling.

Greetings,

If possible, you should update to 8.5 as there's plenty of bug fixes, including with Sharing
Folders:
http://get.live.com/all/WL

To answer your other questions though, there is not a size limit to the folder.

Thanks - I did that - solved the issue! - now to get a new version of
mess.be that fixes all the design flaws of messenger.

Hi boe,

I'm afraid I'm going to have to delegate you over to the mess.be forum as I'm really no Mess

They do indeed have a special version for the 1032 messenger listed in the
forum - unfortunately I couldn't get rid of all the advertizing with it but
you certainly can't complain about a free product and one that is very
recently released. MS is probably trying to make it harder for mess to
remove the advertizing.
