MSN Messenger buddies online or not problem
I have msn messenger 4.7 on my Windows XP Pro machine. I
have noticed that you can't tell who is on. Before the buddy icons use to be in red if they were not online and green if someone was online. But now all of the buddies on the list are green. I have to manually double click on the buddies to see if I get a messenger window indicating I can chat with them. I don't understand why Microsoft takes away features that make sense to being annoying. Anyone know how to fix this annoying problem. Thanks, -WB |

MSN Messenger buddies online or not problem
Greetings WB,
Microsoft did not take out this feature. Have you updated your video drivers recently (from WindowsUpdate)? If so, what you're seeing is a bug within those drivers, to correct this, you can either "roll back" the drivers you installed or install an old version of the drivers from he http://www.nvidia.com/object/pc_winxp-2k_45.33.html To "roll back" the drivers, click Start, then Run, type "devmgmt.msc", click OK, then right-click your video card, choose Properties, then Driver tab, and choose Roll Back Driver to go back to the previous version. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Waheed" wrote in message ...
