Hi, I have been having a lot of problems with the voice feature on messenger and I'm hoping maybe someone has delt with something simular. My wife uses the voice feature to chat with her over-seas relatives. We had been using the feature on and off for over a year without much trouble till recently. Just before the holidays I ended up picking up a really nasty spyware program while on myspace. To get rid of the spyware program I ended up purchasing anti-spyware software. I think the spyware software maybe causing my problems with messenger. We can usually chat, and use the webcam just fine but now we always have problems with the voice feature. This morning it worked long enough for me to hear someone say hello, but we couldn't get it going from that point on. My wifes overseas relatives have been able to use voice when speaking with other relative in the US so I am pretty sure the problem is on my end. My computer is still pretty new (about 2 years) and has been used for this before, and I have a high speed cable connection so I really don't think performance is the issue. Could really use some advice at this point. I'm considering wiring in my laptop this weekend to see whether or not I can eliminate the computer as the problem. I have a wireless router but it only gets about half the connection speed on wireless compared to what the PC will get directly tied to the router.
