Re: Most stable Messenger for Vista?



Hi Jonathan, thank you for your recommendation for Vista, she will upgrade
to WLM 8.1. Should the XP/XP Pro users upgrade from MSN Messenger 7.5 to
Windows Live too?

FYI, the Vista member kept her old Intel webcam which installed and was
recognized by Vista w/o needing a driver!. The other members (six) are now
experiencing an increase in video picture quality when video conversing with
her !! both from the Intel receiving stream and their Sending end. ( a mix
of Logitec and Creative webcams)

Greetings,

On Vista you really should be using Windows Live Messenger 8.1 as it's
considered the "Vista version" of Messenger. All previous versions won't
work properly on Vista (although I've never heard of disconnections
specifically).

Our group uses American Sign Language to IM communicate. Based on
reading postings and suggestions published here, we have 'standardized'
on MSN Messenger 7.5 which works well most of the time although most
annoying is a disconnect every 10-15 minutes. We live with this
experience although it seems more prevalently coming from a recently
downloaded MSN Messenger 7.5 for Vista Premium. (other members are on XP
home and XP Pro)

--- Question? ---Since Windows Live Messenger is the latest incarnation
of MSN Messenger and replaced XP's Windows Messenger, should we all
migrate to Windows Live Messenger. ? --- in hopes of gaining a more
stable with fewer disconnect sessions.-- Any suggestions will be
appreciated. Thanks.
