Hi Will,
I really quite like the instant messenger feature but when both MS Messenger 5
and MS windows messenger failed I decided that enough was enough! Neither
messenger service would sign in so I took radical steps and formatted my hard
drive! Tom Lorimer had suggested editing my registry to allow MSM to run but I
do not possess the necessary skills to do so. It appears that if you as a JFW
user using a older version of JFW you have to accept that some versions of MS
softwear will not function, I did E mail them to make them aware of my
situation but as yet no response! No matter! The re-format worked and I am once
again using MSM 5 gratefully downloaded from :
http://www.whitestick.co.uk
there must be many JFW users who cannot afford the latest JFW in order to
access the latest MS softwear but surely the difficulty of access should be
addressed by Microsoft rather than individual specialist vendors like Freedom
scientific constantly chasing their teils ! trying to maintain the bridge
between MS software and the access technology community. As for me? I'm just
happy to be able to talk to other people once again!

Hi Ali;
Can you see whether you can bring up https://passport.com? Note: https,
*not* http.
This is just to check whether you're having problems with secure sites over
the web, or whether the problems are just limited to the messenger service.
Also, are you using a firewall, and if so, which one? Also, are you using the
latest version of Windows Messenger? The version that first shipped with the
original version of XP had security holes, and won't work. It might be worth
trying Windows Update to see if there's a later version available.

Hi to all!
Using JFW 4.5.1 AND XP home I am having a bit of a nightmare with windows
messenger, following my festive adventures with MS Messenger I now am having
problems with Windows Messenger, on trying to sign in using the sign in on
start up option I find that it will not do this and reportsas follows;
Cannot sign in, https or tcp problem please wait till your isp resolves
this issue and try later.
I do not understand the error message as all other areas such as E mail and
internet access are functioning fine. Interestingly, Windows Messenger then
displays me as signed in, yet I'm clearly not as I recieve no alerts of any
kind. any thoughts? I have tried to re-install the programme and also tried a
system restore to an earlier date but to no avail!
Thanks Alistair
