Re: Windows Messenger for Exchange Instant Messenger on Windows Vista

Greetings Stojce,

Although it should actually install, it won't work anyway. Windows Messenger is not
supported on Vista. It'll work -- sort of, whenever a scroll bar appears in a conversation
window it promptly crashes.

What do you do if you need to use Exchange IM? You can't use Vista.

Hi,

Can someone help me with my problem? I try to install Windows Messenger 5.1
