Re: Messenger and receiving sent files



Greetings Robby,

Just click the Tools menu (or press Alt-T if the menu is hidden), then Options, then File
Transfer category and uncheck 'Automatically reject file transfers for known unsafe file
types'.

If you're still having difficulty, download and run the following .reg file and then reboot:

I have recieved succesfully photo's and word docs using messenger but, my
problem is trying to recieve sound clips, messenger downloads them but then i
get a message saying the type of file you are receiving maybe harmful and
then my puter just will not allow me access to them, I was ok on messenger
7.5 but am having this problem since I installed the new live messenger can
anyone help me sort this out? I have checked my anti virus and firewall they
seem to be ok, what am I doing wrong?
