Coming this week: an update to Windows Live Essentials 2011

[Airbot]

This week, we will release an update to Windows Live Essentials 2011. In addition to changes that improve performance and quality of service, the update also includes full support for SSL in Windows Live Mail, and the latest Bing bar. Here are a few of things we think you’ll find the most interesting:

• Mail: We fixed a sorting issue in the Sent items folder and improved the upload reliability and instrumentation in Photo mail.
• Messenger: We fixed a couple of stability issues and made various changes for improved voice and video quality. We fixed an issue that was causing sound to be lost after upgrading, and we improved performance when displaying the MSN Today page in the main window.
• Photo Gallery: We implemented various bug fixes for crashes related to launching Photo Gallery through Autoplay and facial recognition.
• And more: We made many other usability, performance, and stability improvements across the suite of Windows Live Essentials apps.

Thanks Aaron, I'd just seen this in my RSS Feeds.

Just thought I'd report that I downloaded and installed the WLM update today. The updated version now sorts the "to" column alphabetically in the "sent" folder. But switching between folders is still slow (about 6 seconds for me).

Will it be offered through Windows Update?

Thanks.

 

[Airbot]

Yes. It's mentioned in the article.

im happy because windows live photo gallery error code 0x80010108 when opening file from recent history is fixed.

 

[Wishmaster]

Yep, the Photo Gallery bug is fixed

I just downloaded and updated all of mine. So far all is well.

All went very smooth 2 days ago...WLPG looks stable (but loading looks slow), uploading a photo to Windows Live Skydrive is pretty fast.

Good to know!

Sadly though, I absolutely cannot make it work for me. I have tried multiple installs, every fix suggested by MS and anything else I could find, but Live Photo Gallery absolutely will not work on my machine.

It just keeps on crashing and hanging on me, and when it does work, it takes forever to open a photo when I try to edit it.

It may not be much, but I have found that Live Photo Gallery 2009 was the easiest quick fix for photos I have ever used.

2011 looked like an even better version, but sadly it's not for me, I guess.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If you really want to solve problems i think it would be better to ask for help in windows live support.
