I wish to the Dickens I could still use DOS.
I at least knew what was going on back then...Cy, the Ancient Okie...

I learned a long time ago not to hold off on something because somebody
else had a problem with it.  I prefer to find out myself.  When it comes
to new releases, if you waited until everybody was happy, you'd probably
still be using dos.

Chris,
I think you must have chosen the scrambled eggs option on the merge
phase. I hate to tell you but I am still using 5.0.677. I have 6.0 and
then they sent me an additional disk to renew my SMA afterwards but,
until the dust all settles I will not install 6.0. Cy, the aprehensive
Ancient Okie...

Hi all! I was really excited about the new update to  6.1 so I
downloaded and installed it right away. The install went as smooth as
you like, everything was cool.  So, I murged my settings with 6 and then
went to test things out. I am sad to say that, for whatever reason, msn
messenger 6.2

would not work on my system here. I could read the input window, in
other words I could read what I was typing, but the history window would
not read at all. Nothing, zip, absolutely silent! Well, being a former
beta tester, I figured, Ok, I'll quit 6.1 and re-launch 6.0 and see if
it works there.  Well, to my shock and amazement, msn 6.2 didn't work
with that either! I was really frazzled now.  So, I  did a repair on 6
thinking that would work, but no dice. Still same condition as before, I
could read what I wrote, but not what other people wrote to me.  Well,
to make a long story very short, I ended up having to scrap everything
and re-installing JAWS 6, and I was even asked to re-activate. I have
sent in a request to have my count reset, so hopefully they'll do that
in a few days. I'm just really upset that the whole upgrade process
didn't work the way it was advertised to. So, if you're using MSN
Messenger 6.2 with XP Home, be careful! Install this newly updated
version at your own risk. If it works for you, fantastic. If not, stick
to 6 until FS can get their *** together. What's interesting is I have
friends using XP Pro and the update works flawlessly, so go figure.
Anyways, there's the report. I've only rebooted this computer about 5
times now, and I've finally got everything working

again, so I'm really just thinking I'll stick with 6.0 for now.

Thanks guys
The rather frazzled Chris
