Default Windows Messenger Connection Wizard

Does this really exist? If so where?

Under Help in Windows Messenger 5.1 (Tips and Troubleshooting) {Why can't I
communicate using advanced features?} There is a link for the Windows
Messenger Connection Wizard. When you click on said link it does NOT take
you to said wizard.

Please help!

Greetings,

As far as I was aware, the connection wizard never actually shipped for Windows Messenger
(there was one, but I don't think it was ever finished).

Assuming you're just using the public .NET Messenger network, why not try using MSN Messenger
instead?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\RTCIMSP

set FirstTimeUser to 1

This allowed me to bypass the wizard which wouldn't work Maybe someone
more knowledgable can fill me in if there's a better way.

Sorry for waking this old thread to life, but I thought it appropriate to
provide a solution.

Hi,

Actually the wizard mentioned by the original poster is the web-based connectivity wizard
which used an ActiveX control -- not the audio tuning wizard that the application uses, so
there's no reg key involved.

For best results for Audio/Video outside of an enterprise, Windows Live Messenger should
really be used now instead anyway.

I prefer using windows messenger because of its smaller resource usage.. I
don't have to close it when playing games et cetera. Anyway, my problem had
nothing to do with audio... When I just installed it, I had to follow the
..NET-passport wizard something which wouldn't work, that's what I managed to
bypass with that registry key.
