Re: widows live messenger/msn vs windows messenger



This is first time using this discussion function so please treat me gently!
I used msn messenger until recently uploading windows live messenger. I have
never understood the difference between the two. Now I have live messenger
8.0 and having problems in not being visible to some contacts when I am
online and not able to see them either, however I am available to others and
can also see them. I was not being blocked by affected party as I received
email saying they could not see me online. Tonight during conversation I was
notified contact had gone offline but convo continued and then notified they
came back online. They also received notification i had gone offline but
convo still continued. Can you help me with this problem please as it is
causing me a great deal of concern. Many thanks

Greetings,

Windows Live Messenger supports Remote Assistance, it's in the "Activities" menu. Although
Remote Assistance will only work in Windows Live Messenger if Windows Messenger is also
installed.

What exactly do you need help on?
