Most stable Messenger for Vista?
Our group uses American Sign Language to IM communicate. Based on reading
postings and suggestions published here, we have 'standardized' on MSN Messenger 7.5 which works well most of the time although most annoying is a disconnect every 10-15 minutes. We live with this experience although it seems more prevalently coming from a recently downloaded MSN Messenger 7.5 for Vista Premium. (other members are on XP home and XP Pro) --- Question? ---Since Windows Live Messenger is the latest incarnation of MSN Messenger and replaced XP's Windows Messenger, should we all migrate to Windows Live Messenger. ? --- in hopes of gaining a more stable with fewer disconnect sessions.-- Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

Most stable Messenger for Vista?
Greetings,
On Vista you really should be using Windows Live Messenger 8.1 as it's considered the "Vista version" of Messenger. All previous versions won't work properly on Vista (although I've never heard of disconnections specifically). -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2007 Jonathan Kay.

Most stable Messenger for Vista?
Hi Jonathan, thank you for your recommendation for Vista, she will upgrade
to WLM 8.1. Should the XP/XP Pro users upgrade from MSN Messenger 7.5 to Windows Live too? FYI, the Vista member kept her old Intel webcam which installed and was recognized by Vista w/o needing a driver!. The other members (six) are now experiencing an increase in video picture quality when video conversing with her !! both from the Intel receiving stream and their Sending end.

Hi,
It's not necessary on XP, they're fully compatible. See my other post to you yesterday where I go on in more detail. That's interesting -- my Intel CS430 required me to install the Intel drivers. Additionally, Advanced settings dialog crashes but otherwise the camera works. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2007 Jonathan Kay.
