As far as I’m aware, v7 does require Windows XP. I tried it on a 98 machine once and had similar problems.
Course, you could always use the not as good Windows Messenger.
Only thing I can think of is that you could always send another offline message saying something along the lines of, “Ignore it”…
Hey all.
Just got a spare few mins and just wanted to pop by to say that it’s been great having the Advisor role. Thanks to Jeff, Marcus, and everyone else!
Hopefully I’ll be able to get back here from time to time…we shall see! Hope you’re all doing alright!
Done and done.
It’s all sorted now, just a few minor issues which I can easily rectify myself, but thanks everyone!

Heh, yeah it happened to me a few times with the old board. It’s so odd, and yeah, it did seem to fix itself, but…there must be something. I didn’t think it’d be totally random like that.
I’ll try the XP Repair thingy off the disc.
Well, the board was touching the case, amazingly enough, I haven’t fried it.
I can now boot up to the point of the Windows XP loading logo appearing, just before it appears, my system reboots itself, almost as if it’s overheating. I know it isn’t, as the fan I have definately supports the processor, so I think we can rule out that option.
Any suggestions?! Thanks for your help so far though!
I suspect Dave, as you say, that it may be the board not mounted correctly. If it is touching the case, what exactly will that do? Will it have damaged the board when I attempted to switch on?
I don’t think it’s static. I’ve been inside loads of machines (no time for innuendos!), and it’s never been a problem for me before.
Heh…Spike, can I have one please?
Not sure what to put on it, maybe a mixup of interests, so…Manchester United, Red Hot Chili Peppers, guitar, bass, and a drumkit? Take your pick!
Thanks!
Can you access the Internet normally?
I’m sure if you can do that, MSN should work. It could be something to do with port forwarding in your router. I’m not sure which ports are needed for MSN Messenger, but they’re usually the same ones used to acess the Internet.
