Default Simple Accounts Problem

How can I get the "SIP Communications Service Account" option to show under
Windows Messenger 5.0 Tools/Options/Accounts (in order to connect to Live
Communications Server)?

It appears and works on all computers except one (they all run Windows XP)
that only shows the ".Net Passport" and "Exchange" account options.

you probably don't have the latest Windows Messenger version
with SIP support installed on that machine.

Download it from http://messenger.microsoft.com/.

Default Simple Accounts Problem

Hi Thomas,

This link seems to install version 4.7 (mmssetup.exe). This gives ".Net
Passport" and "Communications Service" account options. If I use the latter
option then a username/password dialog box comes up and nothing I seem to
enter will make a connection.

On the other hand version 5.0 (install.exe) seems to have SIP support as it
works on any other Windows XP (overwriting the default version). (I have
even tried manually removing Messenger on the file system and the registry
but I must be missing something.)

did you followed that link?

"To download a version of Windows Messenger that works with both .NET Messenger
Service, SIP Communication Service, and Microsoft® Exchange 2000 Server, click here."

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

what version is shown in Help|About Windows Messenger?

Sorry Thomas - I didn't explain myself very well.
I actually tried both version 4.7 and 5.0. The Help|About says 5.0.0482. I
notice that the "SIP Communications Service Account" option does not come up
for any users logged onto the computer so I suspect a machine wide setting
or something - I'm sure it has to be a simple problem.
