Paul, I've never run into any issues with those apps after having
removed Windows Messenger, but Jonathan is saying that you can run into
such problems... My suggestion to you is to keep both, since it doesn't
really hurt to have them both present. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks Michael,
Can you help with my problem with remote assistance not work?
Linksys BEFRS41W UPnP enabled, Mcafee Firewall & Antivirus, XP Home
with SP2 (4 machines in total, three hardwired and one wireless)
Used to work fine, now will not work even within my own LAN.
I can request remote assistance from one machine to another using for
example "Start, Help & Support, Invite a friend to connect to your
computer with remote assistance" The originating machine reports
"Invitation has been sent out" and then I accept the invite at the
terminating machine which reports " you have accepted an invitation for
remote assitance". The originating machine then reports "Invitation is
accepted" and the terminating machine opens a window titled "Remote
Assistance" with "Loading...." in the middle, a second window opens on
the terminating machine titled "Remote assistance -- Web Page Dialog"
with "Remote Assistance Failed. Please Try Again"
That's about as far as I get.
As I mentioned further up this used to work fine, since then I have
made a number of changes including SP2, MSN upgrades etc etc.
Interestingly, video, audio, application sharing, file transfer, games
etc etc all work fine both within my network and outside it, the only
problem I have found is remote assistance from any of my machine to any
others!
Please help... its driving me mad!
Regards,
Paul

Nope, you don't need both. You can uninstall WM if you'd like. I just
keep it around in case MSN Messenger decides to start crashing (my
system's very tempermental).

Just to add to my previous post....
I am confused if MSN messenger still requires Windows messenger to be
installed on the same machine for all services to work, in particular
I refer to remote assistance.
