Windows Messenger 5.0.0468 Released Yesterday

[Marcus]

Hey Jonathon just thought youd be interested in knowing
that the new version was released, the link being
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?
FamilyID=77c3799f-6388-4193-8002-
be55584c1ac1&DisplayLang=en. I think what has been
changed is that it includes the new protocol that is
featured with msn messenger 6.1 and possibly some minor
bug fixes. Also i agree with ur webpage that tales is
cool but Dr Robotnik is heaps cooler. I have tryed the
new windows messenger 6.1.0155 and its still doing the
same freeze as msn messenger 6.0.0602 due to my ATI rage
3D LT pro, are they going to release an msn messenger 6
for windows 95 that i could try installing.

Hi Marcus,

Wow -- I missed that one... I'm not sure what's new with it yet.

Robotnik? No way!

I'm not terribly surprised that it wasn't fixed, does that card have any sort of video input?
I'm wondering if Messenger is trying to access one of the inputs and freezing on that.

As for MSN Messenger 6 for Windows 95, I wouldn't count on it [but MSN Messenger 5 wasn't
expected on 95 either, so you never know].

Hey Jonathon, since i can not get msn messenger 6 or 6.1
going due to my video card is there any way i can get an
addin for msn messenger 5 that will enable the new
emoticons or since im a electrical and computer
engineering student is it possible to program an addon
for the emoticons in C or C++. Regarding my video card i
have no way of checking anything since my computer is a
laptop and my video card is in built into the
motherboard, i tryed disabling all display features of
msn messenger but its still freezing up, i am planning on
trying safe mode with networking last time i attempted
that it froze attempting to start up windows with safe
mode and newtworking it froze on the startup screen, very
strange, when will they release windows messenger 6?
