Windows Forum / Windows XP / Windows Messenger / December 2003Messenger Online/Offlilne Status Color
Prior to installing Messenger 6.1, my contact's icons always showed up as two different colors for online and offline contacts. Now they're all green and the only way I can see who's online/offline is to read the status word in parenthesis following contact's name. Liked the colored icons much better. Can't find an option to turn on those colors. Is there one? Thanks. Ed Greetings Ed, Actually, did you also update your video drivers recently (from WindowsUpdate)? If so, what you're seeing is a bug within those drivers, to correct this, you just need to "roll back" the drivers you currently have installed. To do so, click Start, then Run, type "devmgmt.msc", click OK, then right-click your video card, choose Properties, then Driver tab, and choose Roll Back Driver to go back to the previous version. If this option isn't available, use these: http://www.nvidia.com/object/pc_winxp-2k_45.33.html ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com > Prior to installing Messenger 6.1, my contact's icons > always showed up as two different colors for online and [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > colored icons much better.

I have the latest drivers from the Nvidia website, the Nvidia Detonator, and everytime I check for updates I always get that Microsoft Video driver update under the drivers sections. Ofcourse I do not update because I already have the latest update from the Manufacter's website. Those drivers are actually very old, back in October, which is like 3 months ago. Windows Update DRIVERS section is just plain stupid, I never use it!!! |
