hi
I tried to get an older version installed again.again. it will install fine but once I have installed it and go to the log on screen, it aborts and tells me that it will not continue unless I get new messenger:( regards does anyone have an older offline installer of messenger 8.5 that they could mail me?
I'd appreciate it so much.

It will only work with the latest jaws 10 update.  Go to
Microsoft.com/downloads, select internet, and find the version from November
of 2007, you will have to uninstall the new version, but once you do that
one should install just fine.

hi list,
is is terrible. I was just forced to install this new messenger 9 thing. I
wanted to add messenger to my notebook and had kept an older (8.5) installer

handy. I installed and when I wanted to sign on it refused it unless I
installed the newest one.
So now I am stuck with this new one and not a clue on what to do with it.
this is not the least bit blind and screenreader friendly.
I am using xp and jaws 7.10 and now cannot even get online to talk to my
contacts because this thing is so complicated there seem to be pop up things

and inside the messenger a thousand options that i cannot even find my
online contacts.
has anyone tried this messenger and are there any options in there to make
it more blind friendly and( or the best settings for it to work with a
screenreader
my sighted friend says it is full of new graphical playthings.
thanks microsoft :(
regards
chrissy
