Re: MSN M7 Clubhouse games

Thanks, Jonathan.

I'm thinking NIS is the problem but disabling it has no effect. Only
solution I have come up with so far is starting the machine with NIS turned
off, uninstalling messenger and reinstalling. The it works until I turn on
NIS then I have to go through the same process if I want to play games.

Computers are so frustrating :(

Thanks for the reply. I cant seem to get one by emailing support.
