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.

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 -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
