Remote Assistance possibilities?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger (More info?)

Michael,

It should be possible true the activities option, but i only get the message
that it trying to connect to the server.
It's not the way you asked for, that you take the lead to connect i think.
I asked for some assistance about this, but no reply until know, i think the
BETA status is the reason why there is no connection to the server.
Regards
Ronald

hi, yeah I can connect to both without any problem... I honestly haven't had
any problems with 7.0 beta... it crashed once for no reason... other than
that everything works the way it should. Although I do keep my computer free
of spyware and scan for viruses regularly. My computer specs are:
AMD 3200
1 GB of ram
200GB of HHD space (one 120GB and one 80GB)
128 MB ATI Radeon 9200 video card
Wind XP home edition w/ SP2

My computer is custom made, and in my opinion that's the way to go... you
save a lot of money and if it's made well you're computer will run a lot
smoother. Anyway, way off topic, sorry, lol. But yeah, no problems with msn
7.0 beta, what kind of internet connection do you have?
