MSN Messenger XP question

[chainsaw]

I know microsoft released version 5 officially, but did they release version 5 for XP?

On their website... version 5 is only listed under msn messenger, not windows messenger for XP.

Can I install msn messenger if i have windows messenger?

yep, i have XP and i have uninstalled Windows messenger also otherwise u'll run into problems. But otherwise, it works great

does anyone know how i can make messenger 5 the default for outlook express - instead of the 4.7?

To make sure MSN messenger becomes the default messenger over XPs Windows Messenger you need to make sure Windows Messenger is CLOSED before you install Msn5. Right Click on it and then choose EXIT.

If you do not the installation script cant disable windows messenger. Personally I would wait for Windows Messenger 5 to be released. If you have already installed MSN5, remove it, disable windows mess. and then reinstall it.

Version 5 can't run Plus!, do you know of some program to log the chat sessions as Plus! did ?

 

[sherpard]

yes u can

 

[Howling Wolf]

No, you can't !
At least, not with version 5.0.0537 for win98, I'll try tonight at home under XP Pro...

Plus! doesnt work completely with messenger 5, but it will log your chat... And soon a new version of plus! will be released that support msn 5
