Windows Messenger and Windows Messenger Live
I have Media Center 2005 PC with Service Pak 2 and all critical updates. I
have not installed Media Center Rollup 2 or Framework 2 yet. I have signed into Windows using Windows Live Credentials for each user I have setup (each has own profile). I have not signed into Windows Messenger yet and have not loaded the new Messenger Live Instant Messenging program. I use Office Outlook 2003 for email. I am not sure what to do next. Should I sign into Windows Messenger with Live Credentials and then load Messenger Live Program? Should I load Media Center Rollup 2 first? Not sure if Windows Live requires it. Also, I just found out that My PC has updates motherboard drivers. I just reformatted and am reloading all from scratch so I don't want to mess things up. Also, I am running Norton Internet Security 2006 and System Works 2006. I still have to run Media Center setup. I would really appreciate it is someone could give me the correct ordering of what should be done first--and if I should sign in with Windows Messenger before loading Messenger Live or if this will create more problems. |

Windows Messenger and Windows Messenger Live
Greetings,
The order doesn't matter for the rest of the stuff, but you can just ignore Windows Messenger completely and use Windows Live Messenger as if you were to save your credentials in Windows Messenger it can get annoying if misconfigured (starts up automatically, etc.). -- 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.
