SIP choice is not visible in Windows Messenger

[Parabizar]

Hello,

My society use Live Communication Server 2003 with Windows Messenger 5.1 for
client.
I installed 60 computer with this service and there are ok.
But since one week I add a new laptop with Windows Messenger but the
Tools/Options folder don't have the SIP choice, why ?
Have you a idear ?

It's on Windows XP Pro pre-installed on laptop.

Regards

Greetings,

Are you sure Windows Messenger 5.1 is on your laptop? The 4.7 version which comes with
Windows does not have the SIP option.

Greetings,

My apologies, I just read your other post in French which you already said you had installed
5.x.

The SIP option can actually be turned off by GPO/registry key. Since there's actually a few
ways of doing this, the easiest fix here would just to be to remove all Messenger policies
from your machine.

To do so, shut down Messenger if it's running, then download and run the following .reg
files:

Then try again.

I got the same problem. Even after I clear the registry as directed, I still
cannot get "sip" option to show up. XP+windows messenger 5.1.

Any other solutions?

Thanks.
