using ink in Messenger 5.0

[Evan Bauman]

I'm trying to send a message in Windows Messenger 5.0 using ink on a
Tablet PC. I've checked the box to send and receive ink in the
Messenger preferences tab. But when I try to send ink, I cannot click
on the ink icon. It's disabled.

The Messenger online help states that the administrator must first
permit ink to be used. Does anyone know where this is done? I've
looked all over the GPO and can't find anything on ink.

Thanks.

You won't be able to send Ink unless the recipient is also running an Ink
enabled client. Which means at least Windows Messenger 5.0, AND they haven't
disabled it.

That's what I've done - the recipient also has Messenger 5.0 and has
enabled reception of ink. Yet, the tablet pc still cannot choose to
send ink.

Weird, eh?

Greetings Evan,

Are you both on each others' actual contact lists? If you both haven't added each other, it
won't work.
