Vista - Messenger 5.1 shuts down

Hello

We are using Windows Messenger 5.1 as internal Messenger at our company with
SIP Communications. We recently upgraded some of our computers to Windows
Vista and now encounter some problem concerning the Messenger as follows:

Every time when the message window fills up, the scrollbar should pop up so
you can read what you typed before. But when that occurs, the messenger
simply shuts down and all messages are gone.

Does anyone here have an idea why this is happening?

This is what is written to the Eventlog.

Log Name: Application
Source: Application Error
Date: 07.12.2006 13:17:49
Event ID: 1000
Task Category: (100)
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic
User: N/A
Computer: vistariedl2.domain.com
Description:
Faulting application Msmsgs.exe, version 5.1.0.701, time stamp 0x431630e8,

exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0004fcac, process id 0x5a0,
application start time 0x01c719f4e67ae839.

I don't know the answer to your specific problem but I can tell you that MSN
Messenger 7.5 works fine in Vista.

Messenger 5.1 is no longer supported by microsoft.. they are pushing another
technology.
So you are trying to install it on vista.... and vista is crap.

The mvp Jonathan Kay will explain this better to you if you go to the
windows.live.messenger
newsgroup.

Sorry, but that does not solve my problem. I cannot use MSN Messenger 7.5
because it is not able to do SIP communications with Exchange 2003. If there
was a IM program that is capable to do this ...

Thank you anyway for your answer.

well, now it doesn't matter anymore. we upgraded to LCS 2005. Now we use as
client the office communicator. runs quite fine with vista. only problem is,
that it can only do sip messaging.
