Caller ID

[Guest]

After upgrading from MCE 2005 to Vista RC2 (upgraded not clean install)
Caller ID has stopped working. Is it something broken in RC2? Any thoughts on
this issue is greatly appreciated.

AFAIK, caller ID functionality was taken out of Vista. I believe you can
still use 3rd party apps though (e.g. mceTapiRex)

It's a shame that it has been removed, but that TapiRex program looks really
cool. It even can use your Outlook contacts and be used in client/server
mode.

Yeah, Christoph did a really nice job with mceTapiRex, as well as his
mceAuction app.

There is another Vista Caller ID app at

I believe this one is free, but I haven't tried it out, so I can't comment
on it.
