Hi Usually I use the MSN Messenger in order to communicate with friends. There are occasions, where I don't switch off my PC and it runs more than one or two days continuously. If after such a time I want to "talk" via MSN-Messenger to a friend, is NOT possible. The friend can't call me and I can't call my friend, so NO AUDIO!! In 99% also NO VIDEO!! Writing is no problem. If I reboot my system and try afterwards to contact my friend, then NO Problems!! AUDIO & VIDEO and Writing is functioning. What could be the reason? Any Ideas? I'd appreciate any answer that will bring some light into this darkness. Many thanks in advance Oded ----- To unsubscribe, send a message to win2kforum-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and put "unsubscribe" in the subject of the message.
