Re: Remote assistance

Greetings Kona,

What the error message really means (it's written wrong and the links are wrong) is that you
need the latest Windows Messenger (not Live) installed on your PC.

You can grab Windows Messenger 5.1 here:
http://microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a8d9eb73-5f8c-4b9a-940f-9157a3b3d774

Note: you don't actually have to use Windows Messenger, it just needs to be installed on XP
for the Remote Assistance feature within Windows Live Messenger to work.
