Hi Chaney,

Make sure the Windows Messenger 5.1.0.715 is also installed.

Re: Remote Assistance help

Do I need to uninstall the 8.5 version?

Re: Remote Assistance help

Hi Chaney,

No, but make sure that you are using the latest Windows Live Messenger
version, Build 8.5.1302.1018, also.

Windows Live Messenger and Windows Messenger are different Messenger
programs, but you need the latest version of Windows Messenger to work with
Remote Assistance.
