Greetings,

MSN Explorer Version 10 (MSN 10) has been released for MSN retail customers
in the United States. International and partner versions are still in the
development process. If you are currently running MSN 9.6, then you will be
automatically updated to MSN 10 within the upcoming weeks. For new installs,
please go to http://membercenter.msn.com, and click the Download Now link.
MSN 10 runs on the following versions of Windows - 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, XP (32
bit only), Vista (32 bit /64 bit) and 7 (32 bit/64 bit).

New features in MSN 10:
- Integrated e-mail spell checker for XP, Vista and Windows 7.
- Quick Web Access (QWA) allows you to surf the web while MSN 10 completes
the sign-in process. For new installs, QWA is enabled by default. Customers
who receive MSN 10 through the auto-update process will not have this enabled
by default. QWA can be easily enabled/disabled from the sign in screen.
- New video player for the dashboard. Add the player by clicking the
username at the top of the dashboard and choosing Video. This option is not
enabled by default.
- The search buttons have been updated to Bing.

Items that have been removed or changed:
- The “Encarta” button has been changed to “Reference” and includes a
dictionary, thesaurus and translations.
- The calendar task list has been removed from the dashboard since it was
part of the former MSN Calendar service.
- Search box on the dashboard has been moved to a fixed position at the top
of the dashboard.
- Messenger is no longer a requirement for signing into MSN Explorer. If
Messenger is installed, MSN Explorer will work with it in the same manner as
before and show your contacts and their online status.

Notable bug fixes:
- The main cause for 'Error 235' while installing/uninstalling has been
addressed. Note: this error code may still display if a firewall or
anti-virus is preventing MSN Explorer from accessing the internet.
- New windows not displaying the navigation bar has been fixed
- Unable to download certain file types such as .csv or .pdf has been fixed

Behind the scenes changes:
Previously, in order to add or remove features from the dashboard or
navigation bar it was necessary to release an entirely new version of MSN
Explorer. With MSN 10, we now have the ability to update the dashboard and
the navigation bar without requiring a full update of MSN Explorer. Now
that we have enabled this functionality, you can expect additional new
features to be delivered to MSN 10 over the next year.

Thank you,

No infrormation has been announced yet regarding partner accounts such as the
one you have with Verizon. You may want to contact Verizon and ask. I believe
that they will probably suggest that you switch to Windows Live programs and
services.

I realise that the MSN 10 Regional updates are still a "work in progress" to
enable international users to upgrade to version 10, but is there an expected
date for the United Kingdom release ?

In my experience, Microsoft doesn't publish planned release dates until they are
absolutely certain that there will not be a change.
Nothing has been announced yet.

Hi Winston,

Thank you for the suggestions. That MSN 10 video link went out a bit
earlier than it should have, and definitely should not have shown up for
anyone using a Verizon or Qwest account.

We will have a new MSN 10 video posted soon for the MSN retail customers.

Take care,
Berit

Berit,
Thanks for the response..
For clarification purposes, the MSN 10 Video link I referenced, was *not* a Verizon or Qwest partnered account or affiliated with
any partner. It's an original legacy pop3 Msn account.

I can see the video link fine from my Qwest account. Still getting 235
error on install attempt from Windows 7 too. Any timetable for fixing this
for Qwest accounts?

- The main cause for 'Error 235' while installing/uninstalling has been
addressed. Note: this error code may still display if a firewall or
anti-virus is preventing MSN Explorer from accessing the internet.
- New windows not displaying the navigation bar has been fixed
- Unable to download certain file types such as .csv or .pdf has been fixed
Previously, in order to add or remove features from the dashboard or
navigation bar it was necessary to release an entirely new version of MSN
Explorer. With MSN 10, we now have the ability to update the dashboard and
the navigation bar without requiring a full update of MSN Explorer.
Now
that we have enabled this functionality, you can expect additional new
features to be delivered to MSN 10 over the next year.

Hi Winston,
Thank you for the suggestions. That MSN 10 video link went out a bit
earlier than it should have, and definitely should not have shown up for
anyone using a Verizon or Qwest account.
We will have a new MSN 10 video posted soon for the MSN retail customers.
Take care,
Berit

Thanks for the overview.
One request....
1. https://membercenter.msn.com
Contains an 'Upgrade to MSN 10.0' link under the category MSN Tutorials
- clicking on the link yields a video labeled MSN 9.6 (to see the pic in the message view in Html)
2. One comment.
Some folks might like to know this if Outlook is also installed..

Any idea when Verizon will provide MSN 10. Can't get much information from
them.
9.6 with Vista has been a big problem - can't use Explorer 8 and had to
import and third party provider of a Spell Check for e-mails.

Any update will be appeciated.

On the Qwest version of membercenter.msn.com, Download MSN Software link,
there is an option to install Microsoft Digital Image 2006. This contains,
believe it or not, English Proofing Tools from Office 2003. Maybe the
Verizon site will let you do the same. Qwest appears to be phasing out
support for MSN software in favor of Windows Live and Norton AntiVirus. It
would not surprise me if Verizon did the same.

Bummer, well Windows Live comes with its own spell checker at least. I am
having a pretty good time with Outlook 2007 and the Outlook Connector. It
looks as if the market for MSN software is inexorably shrinking...

I performed the "upgrade" from MSN 9.6 to MSN 10 as per the below. My
configuration = XP, IE 8, MSN10/Verizon ISP. All I was seeking out of the
upgrade was the fix to the problem of the MSN Navigation Tool bar not showing
when opening new windows. However, after the upgrade I am still experiencing
that problem. It's frustrating to say the least.

Suggestions ?!?!?!

It will work with whatever version of IE is installed. I assume that the minimum
would be IE6, but you should upgrade to IE8, even if you do not use IE8, simply
to close the security holes that may be left exposed using an older version.

I have MSN Premium from Verizon and I think it's version 9.6. How can I get
version 10?

I was recently "upgraded" to version 10. What are the chances of Microsoft
adding the calendar view back to the dashboard? It was one of the most
informative options. The addition of videos is a complete waste of space.
Also, on my laptop Messenger keeps loading even if I don't want it to. I
never use it anyway. How do you disable Messenger?

The redesign of the Dashboard in v10, as I understand it, will allow them to
make changes more easily to MSN Explorer. I don't know what's involved in adding
the calendar, but know that others have also asked for it.
Open Messenger, go to Tools/Options and the options for how it starts are on the
Sign In tab. Press Alt after clicking on Messenger (after signing in) to see the
menu if it isn't visible.

I think my first attempt to post a reply got cut off - pilot error-sorry

Basic symptom: No .pps attached files show up with their emails using MSN 1
running on a Windows 7 64-bit OS. It's not that they don't open, they're jus
not there. Instead there is message saying MSN has blocked it as an unsaf
file. (Note however, the .pps extension is NOT listed by MSN on it
automatically blocked list of dangerous files.
Strange info: These attachments come through OK if the file extension i
changed by the sender
They also come through just fine under MSN 10 on our Windows XP Pro SP
machines. And, they come through fine using Hotmail on all machines

MSN tech support tried to resolve this for hours and after escalation t
highe
level tech support, they gave up, saying they will forward to a specia
unresolved problems department. Haven't heard back

I have not found this problem mentioned on other forums, so it may be
unique
problem. But how can MSN blocking a file at the serer be the fault of our ne
Win 7 installation
It's OEM installed by Dell on an Inspiron 570 desktop

Any ideas? Thanks.
