Hi Alex, well we were both using the same version of Messenger with different versions of Windows, mine being Vista Home Premium SP1 and Hannah's being XP Home SP3. Regardless though, the crackling came from both ends, so it surely isn't a Windows issue. Anyway, she's now on Skype and she's making good progress with it. Thanks for the help though, greatly appreciated.

I've only ever used voice chat on windows live with one individual a whileago Chris, and I didn't like the overall quality so much as I do with skype. You can do simplex calls to people as well as call computer, but if someoneis running a version of messenger below the one you use, such as windowslive, you can't seem to voice chat. This is what I've found and so can onlygive you very limited feedback.

Mygirlfriend rung me on Windows Live Messenger today, and we notice that everynow and again our voices are replaced by what sounds like crackling. I, however, do know that it's at one or both ends, however we're not sure if it's to do with our ISP's or just poor quality of Windows Live Messenger.What do you think? I've been using Skype permanently since the day we moved onto broadband and I don't notice any crackling at all, so I'm suggesting toHannah that she uses Skype once again after several years of not using it. Do you all think this is the right move? Just want your comments andfeedback really, and we're not really looking for ways to solve the problem, since personally I don't voice chat on Windows Live Messenger that much as I prefer Skype for voice chats and MSN for text chats. Thanks in advance, andI look forward to hearing your thoughts on this. -- Chris Hallsworth Derbyshire, UK E-mail christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx MSN ch9675@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype chrishallsworth7266 Website http://www.chrishallsworth.co.nr Klango chrishallsworth FTP ftp://chrishallsworth.dyndns.org ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
