Both myself and my friend upgraded our machines the same day to XP Pro SP2
release. We both had been running Messenger v4.7 and having voice
conversations without any problems. We BOTH use the same router - a Linksys
withPort Forward Range open from 1024 to 65535 for UDP protocol. This always
worked fine for voice and file transfers. However, since the upgrade - major
problems were encountered. If accepting or initiating a conversation - the
Messenger crashed with a Memory Reference Error.. cannot Write.. We both
uninstalled MSN Messenger and reinstalled v4.6 and then upgraded back to 4.7.
This corrected the crashing problem. BUT - voice conversation still does not
work. I have read on this board of trying v5.0 of messenger. We have both
upgraded to this version with no resolvement of the problem. We have also
both shut off the SP2 firewall completely. This did not work. We also tried
to leave the software firewall on and set the router to DMZ on both machine
(to totally open it up) - and this did not work. I am confident that the
router is NOT the problem, since it never was until the SP2 upgrade took
place. Please any help would be appreciated - MIKE.
