Using MSN Messenger 6

[Sam]

What would cause both me and my contact to play a game in
MSN Messenger 6? These are the games that come along with
the newest version of Messenger. Turning off the virus
scan and firewall that is built in XP doesn't help. Any
solution?

Greetings Sam,

What exactly is occurring when you attempt to play the games? Are you seeing any error
messages?

If you're just getting "Solitare Showdown could not be started"-type messages, open up the
main Messenger window, click the Tools menu, then Options, then Privacy tab, uncheck 'Always
ask me for my password when checking Hotmail or opening other .NET Passport-enabled Web
pages' and click OK. Then try again. Your contact may have to do the same.
