Windows Messenger and DirectX9a
Thanks Jonathan for the attached.
I tried it but it didn't work straight away. However, when I deleted them all then ran the setup a home network wizard all was fine. Cheers. Mark. -----Original Message----- Greetings John, You might try going through the Audio (and Video) Tuning Wizard in case one of your devices has changed its name (which cases this "effect" to occur). To do so, open the main Messenger window, click the Tools menu, then Audio Tuning Wizard. Both you and your contact should do this. Also, both you and your contact should clear your UPnP entries in your router. To do so, click Start, All Programs, Accessories, Communications, Network Connections. Right-click your "Internet Gateway" (should be under the Internet Gateway heading) and choose Properties. Choose the Settings button, click each 'msmsgs' or 'msnmsgr' entry and then choose 'Delete' to each one. Then close Messenger (right-click the Messenger icon, choose Exit), then restart Messenger. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Microsoft Support" wrote in message ... I thought DirectX9a was supposed to fix bugs in connection with Messenger. But instead it made things worse! After upgrading to DX9a Messenger 4.7.2005 cannot setup a video or voice conversation. It worked perfectly fine before the upgrade. I tried to install MSN Messenger instead but got the same error. It seems like the connection gets established but is lost in under half a second. I am using a Linksys BEFW11S4 router with the latest UPnP enabled (and fixed) firmware (ver 1.44.2z). The other end of the conversation is using a Linksys BEFSR41 router also with the latest firmware (ver 1.44.2). Is this the same problem we encountered when upgrading to DX9 with the old Linksys firmware? It is certainly not as severe as it was by then. Do we need a new router firmware (again) or is there another fix? Keep up the good work MS... John Vindahl Nielsen . |
