Hi
I use Win XP Home and have installed Messenger 7.0.

I installed this versin due to it's offering of more and frendlier functions.

I understand that Win XP comes with Messenger 4.7.

Is it better for the OS to use Messenger 4.7 or ver 7.0..?

Thanks

Leo

Two different applications. The 7.0 one is MSN Messenger, while the 4.7 one is Windows Messenger. I gather the Windows one can be used with a server on a LAN (probably requires XP Pro or Windows 2xxx on the server computer). Where linking through MSN's server is desireable you probably should go for the MSN Messenger. Unfortunately uninstalling Windows Messenger also uninstalls some libraries use by other Windows communications applications.
