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. Brian |

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.) Brian "Thomas Wenzl [MVP]" wrote in message ...

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.
