| | Windows Live Messenger vs. Windows XP Messenger I know that Windows XP Messenger was more oriented towards the business community, but can Windows XP Messenger (the last version or so that was available some time ago) make video/audio connections with Windows Live Messenger? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This message was sent using 100% recycled bits. |

| | RE: Windows Live Messenger vs. Windows XP Messenger I know Windows Messenger (preinstalled in Windows versions until XP), which is numbered as 4.x (current is 14.x), so i think you know older versions didn't support audio and video. |

| | Re: Windows Live Messenger vs. Windows XP Messenger Thanks. I did find out that while I can connect to a Windows Messenger client for basic IM functions, video will not work. I seem to get a message on the Windows Live Messenger machine that the Messenger service is not available even though I can text back and forth.

| | Re: Windows Live Messenger vs. Windows XP Messenger I get the message at the point where I attempt to share my camera with someone using Windows Messenger (from Windows XP). No problem sharing the camera with a user who runs Windows Live Messenger under Windows 7.

| | Re: Windows Live Messenger vs. Windows XP Messenger Hi, Ah, I see, I thought you were talking about a separate issue. Like I said earlier, the latest version of Windows Live Messenger won't be compatible with Windows Messenger video, but text will be fine.
