Messenger 4.7 Instant Crash with voice and video
Hi. Windows Messenger ( V 4.7.3001) crashes instantly when initiating voice
or video. Text messaging works fine. Attempting to accept an inbound voice or video call also causes the crash. This problem occurs between computers on home LAN or internet. My router is upnp compliant.. I have tried the above with a minimum boot, and get same crash problem. I have not tried to re-install Messenger, since that appears to involve a complete reinstall of SP2 - or is there a easier way to reinstall messenger? Thanks for any clues. |

I had the same problem and just installed version 5.1 which fixed the problem
for now anyway. I had to do an internet search for the 5.1 version since it was not part of the automatic upgrade, but it does come from a microsoft website and it did install okay. Give it a try.

Below is Jonathon Kays reply to another question, but it
sheds some light on why there is no automatic update, I personnally think that for me an upgrade of MSN Messenger (since I use both) broke Windows Messenger and installing 5.1 fixed it the same as reinstalling 4.7 (if that was easy to do). Perhaps Jonathon will reply and shed some more light on this. Yes, alerts are still in 5.1. Windows Messenger 5.1 is considered a corporate client for Live Communications Server and Exchange IM Server (but also has connectivity to the .NET Messenger Service), as such, there really isn't much new functionality for the public network "Gavin" wrote: Thanks alot TmF, that fixed the problem.
