The interesting thing about Softonic collection of error is also well show us the solution.

If you chat often, for sure one time or another you've encountered in an embarrassing situation, either by mistake or ignorance.
Messaging programs such as Messenger have their own unwritten rules. If you do not want your friends will look with a face, you better be careful. We have compiled the ten most common forms of screw up in Messenger.
They are:
1. Voice recording error
Messenger lets you send voice messages in a very simple-perhaps too much. So much so that, at times, press the record button accidentally Or hold down the F2 key by mistake, sending an audio message (with all that it can make) ...
- Solution: Take care and be fast by pressing the ESC key if you find that you are recording a message by accident. You can also mute the microphone.
2. Write to the wrong window
Messenger windows you can play tricks. If you talk to several people at once, the rush can take you to write to the wrong window. In addition, the tabs Windows Live Messenger 2011 do nothing but help this happen more often.
- Solution: Keep it separate the windows of the people you're talking about. For example, put one right and one to the left of the screen. It will also help to assign custom sounds to contacts, and your contacts use different scenes or fonts. In WLM 2011, unlock the tabs to display them as separate windows. Finally, you can use Windows XP Taskbar Shuffle to separate the windows in the Taskbar.
3. Accidentally paste something
A popular saying says Clipboard uploads the devil, And could not be more successful. If you're a fan of Control + C and Ctrl + V, Certainly more than once you have placed in evidence. The typical case is the following: intend to pass the address of a website very funny to a friend ... and end up hitting God knows what.
- Solution: There is no magic recipe, but be careful. After hitting something in the chat window, do not press Enter immediately. Also, if for a moment embarrassing charges on your clipboard, something else as soon as you no longer need.
4. Use typography that the other does not
The ability to change the font of Messenger has caused confusion since the beginning of time. For starters, the contact you are talking about should have the same font installed, if not, will a standard. In addition, another point to consider is the font size: it is clientside, Ie only changes on your screen.
- Solution: Refrain from making art with typography. Choose a standard and not bother to change the size unless you have trouble reading the default configuration. If you who are harassed by a contact with a bad taste for the font settings, with Messenger Plus forcing you to use your own.
5. Excess emoticons
Misuse of emoticons easy and common, especially custom ones. If you want to be really annoying for your contacts, then feel free to use emoticons for everything ... replacing common words or letters.
- Solution: Use the emoticons only when necessary and to come to mind. Adding custom emoticons, associates with a sequence of letters that are going to use for error. Avoid emoticons replacing words as a standard. If you're the one who suffers, then deselect Show custom emoticons Options in the Messenger, paragraph messages.
6. Showing a ridiculous song as status message
Your taste in music you can play tricks on the public if the four winds. It is not to be ashamed of listening to certain music, for taste there is nothing written, but you never know what can happen if you forget your music, and some programs also your videos, are announced in public.
Not only can bring out in the privacy of your home enjoy the circle of potatoes and other world records, but can also disrupt your intention to pretend to be absent.
- Solution: Do not select the option Show what you're listening except when they want, and unset when done.
7. Skip Away and Busy
A very effective way to annoy your contacts is to ignore its status. Generally, if someone is shown as Busy, is not in the mood to interrupt you constantly with irrelevant comments. As Away, whether the person is really absent as if he is faking it, do not bother asking every five minutes "are you?, Are you there? Hello? ". Receive only hatred in response. And the best hum or talk.
- Solution: Please note the status of your contacts and acts accordingly. Do not be heavy and get feedback your buddy on his desire to chat at that time. If you who receive harassment from friends, maybe you should consider passing Offline or at least turn off the sounds and alerts to new messages in Messenger options.
8. Post your status on 30 different networks
The latest version of Messenger is particularly social. That is, you can connect to other networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, etc. The problem is that you lose some control on what and where you're posting. Change your status in Messenger can spread to the rest of your network, where people can read it you would not like to read it ...
- Solution: the privacy settings Live is fairly complete. Take the time to make sure that your state will be issued only wherever they wish.
9. Excess lines
Some people have the "Enter" too loose. Come on, cut the sentences much longer than recommended. There is no problem in cutting the phrases makes conversations more fluid and easier to read than LF words, but do not have to spend.
If the other person has the notifications and sounds New Message activated, can be quite annoying.
- Solution: Check your instincts to press Enter without stopping. To protect against multiline fans, there's not much you can do. Something that helps is to tick Group sequential messages from each contact together in the Messenger options, paragraph messages. This will prevent the window is filled with "Someone said" every time you type, followed Posts grouping.
10. Writing SMS
Although it serves to call, Messenger is not a mobile phone. The messages are written with the computer keyboard, consisting of at least 101 keys, all eager to be used by you. Write hieroglyphic abbreviations not consistent and is a great advantage, unless your typing speed is equivalent to that of a stone.
- Solution: Write all the letters, or at least nearly all, and try not to make too many spelling mistakes. Costs the same as writing good than harm. We are not talking about putting all the accents and phrases grammatically perfect, but they do not harm the eye. Your friends will thank you.
