It’s been a while since I replied but I have found out a few things since.
No matter what version of Messenger you try to install in XP it always adds the menu with Start a Voice Conversation orStart a Video Conversation. No matter what version you install in Win 98 it adds the menu Invite to Netmeeting. So, if you want to use netmeeting in XP you can’t invite by menu or directory (messenger directory) you have to have a WIN 98 connection invite you or an XP connection send you their IP address.
ALSO: out of this topic
I have had problems with Windows Messenger locking up and gobbling up 98% of my processor usage and had to nuke it from task manager processes. I removed it, unhooked the Outlook connection and installed msn msg 5.0 and it seemed to work better until yesterday when it did it as well. ???Thanks Jeff for your help. Using the IP is the way I have been doing it, but on cable my IP changes every week and others as well. So the buddy system seemed an answer apart from ILS. I’m going to try an older version. . I have a friend using Windows 98 with some version of messenger, and his has the start NetMeeting option. I’m going to check and see if I can get it to run on XP. I’ll let you know if it works on XP.
thanks,
Dave
P.S.
Have you heard of any web sites where they are doing MCU (Multipoint Conference Unit) service cheap or for free. or have beta/shareware software available as a server apart from hardware solution?
