Instaling windows messenger

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

Hi Carl:

I'm not sure if this is your problem or not but the symptoms sound exactly
like something I ran across. When I upgraded my computer at work to Windows
Messenger 5.0, I began to get the "message could not be sent error" when I
tried to chat with other users in the office who had older computers that
were running the 4.7 version of Windows Messenger. The problem was
intermittent but seemed to occur about half of the time.

I fixed it by going around and upgrading the older 4.7 versions to 5.0.
That fixed it and haven't seen the problem since.

Hope that helps!

Drew
