Hello, I just installed Windows 7, and I can not minimize Windows Live Messenger .... Is this normal? Is there a solution? Many thanks for your help ....

What do you mean by "impossible to minimize Windows Live Messenger"?

When you click on the top right it down as an icon in the taskbar (not next to the clock as before). . . . . that's what upset you ?????

If Windows Live Messenger is open, exit it now. Right click the shortcut of Windows Live Messenger and select Properties. Go to the Compatibility tab and check the Run this program in compatibility mode option. Select Vista from the drop down list and click OK.

Windows Live Messenger will now minimize.
