MSN Messenger Version 7 problem Derrick Fawsitt 04-10-2005

I recently heard on the Media that MSN Messenger offers voice to voice
and video to video links and gave us an example of its quality by
conducting the interview through MSN Messenger. I use Skype for voice
and (sometimes), Paltalk for video. Is this new version compatible and
why also, when I downloaded it on my PC I got named as my daughter's
version, even though I used a different password. I doubt she used my
email address when she registered with them yet whenever I open it I see
here name and her contacts.
What have I done wrong and how do I first of all extricate myself and
then set up a new registration for myself, but then is MSN's new version
of Messenger worth it? Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have actually had to post this query in a less appropriate news group
where I have had it answered satisfactorily. However, I have noticed
that the help and response here is not in my short experience very
forthcoming, (I hope I am wrong), and you would think that a question on
handsets, (a previous query), and now a question on communication would
at least get a line in response.
I would like some pointers as to what is the limitations of my remit in
using this newsgroup, please advise and hopefully perhaps this question
will stimulate or "provoke" some response, yes?

I don't know how to answer your questions, but I can share my own
problems with the new Messenger service. Mine is having issues getting
past the firewall on my computer and will not sign in unless I turn the
firewall off. it never happened until I updated.

Hi and thank you for at least my first response on this NG. I got the
following answer in another newsgroup and I am sure that Mike who sent
it to me won't mind me sharing it with you, it certainly solved my
problems.

I quote:-


"I'm not sure what you mean by "compatible", but it is compatible with
previous versions of MSN Messenger, but not with Skype. The latest
version was only released three days ago and is version 7. Voice is on a
par with or better than Skype IME. Of course the latter has no video -
yet. MSN has two forms of audio/video

1) Video Conversation where the codecs used are meant to be an
improvement on previous versions. The audio is meant to be better
synchronised with video, and quality of latter is *meant* to be an
improvement, even allowing full screen video.

2) Separate webcam and audio links. Even though this is meant to be
inferior to (1) I have found it better and synchronisation is very good.
When I use 2, the data upload is between 25-30 KB/sec, as fast as my
connection will allow.

Go to the Run box above the "Start" button and type the following into
it:

control userpasswords2

That will bring up another box with two tabs at the top. Go to the
Advanced tab and click "Manage Passwords". There you'll see all the
accounts and you should be able to delete the one causing the problems.
You may also see a .Net passport. That can be removed, as if it is the
default one you are seeing, it will reappear if still listed.

Overall, I find MSN quality excellent for both voice and video. But if
you are using WinXP you might prefer the less bloated Windows Messenger.
It too does audio/video."

End of quote.


I hope you find Mike's comments as helpful as they were to me.

Kind regards,
