Games not working in WLM...whiteboard issue?

Hi,

I'm running Vista Ultimat 64 bit. My friend is running some type of 32 bit Vista. We are just beginning to explore WLM and are encountering a problem when trying to do games. She gets a message saying Whiteboard is not present or is not enabled. Her router is a Cisco WRT310N and shows as non uPnP when she looks in connectivity. Do we need to make some changes on her router? If so, a step by step how-to would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks!

Bill

Greetings Bill,

Could you be more specific as to what game you're trying? If you're just trying to play with
the whiteboard, the whiteboard application is limited to XP only and will not work with
Vista.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm just trying the basic games included in WLM 9.0...like backgammon and 7 hand poker. The interesting part is that it loads up for me with no whiteboard issues. It's only on her computer that the whiteboard issue shows up, and then I get a message telling me about the whiteboard issue.

Is it possible that 64bit Vista includes whiteboard but 32 bit doesn't?

Thanks.

Bill
