Hi all. Aftter a bit of playing around I have stopped using MSN messenger and gone back to Windows messenger. On the whole I find MSN Messenger slows down the PC and windows messenger does all I want with the exception of letting me know when I have new mail in my hotmail account. However, Windows Messenger blocks sending and receiving of certain file types it considers dangerous. I have looked for a fix for this on the net but found nothing so far. Anyone any ideas?
