New Win-xp IM deletes "Make a phone Call"
I use the IM for both audio and audio visual communications with friends
around the country who have high speed connections. I also use the "Make a phone call" feature as all calls within the USA are at the flat rate of two cents per minuet. I note the newest up-date which I do not want to load, eliminates the phone call feature. My question: Is there a way to stop the Windows Messenger from sending the pop-up and other notices about a new version of messenger is available? -- Wally |

New Win-xp IM deletes "Make a phone Call"
Greetings Wally,
First close down Messenger (right-click its icon in the notification area/system tray and choose Exit), then download and run this .reg file: http://messenger.jonathankay.com/dow...ableupdate.reg You can then restart Messenger and it will no longer prompt you that there is an updated version. Note: the "Make a Phone Call" feature still remains in MSN Messenger 5, although as you've probably read, MSN Messenger 5 is not an upgrade to Windows Messenger, and in order to retain full functionality, you have to leave both installed. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Wally North" wrote in message ...
