Paula I had (Until it crapped out on me) an old 2000 model IBM ThinkPad and
was using a D-Link wireless network adapter and had messenger 7.5 working
just fine so I don't see how a wireless adapter would be a problem. It could
possibly be your firewall or virus protection or could possibly even be anti
spyware program causing the problem. Other than that I'm just as stumped as
you are.
