Windows Forum / Windows XP / Windows Messenger / October 2004Comminications service no longer available after SP2
Hi, Just installed SP2 on XP Home Edition and found out that communication service in windows messenger no longer exists. My contacts are gone and I can't find the checkbox to enable communications service. What has happened? The new windows messenger version is 4.7.3000 while my old version was 4.7.2009. It couldn't be that MS suddenly removed the SIP protocol functionality without notice or could it....??? Yes, I know we are not many users of this SIP feature (yet) but still I expect to get a warning during upgrade to SP2. Can I revert back to 4.7.2009? Where can I find it? Do I have to uninstall 4.7.3000 first? Please Help! Regards / Fredrik Greetings Fredrik, It's recommended that you go straight to Windows Messenger 5 if you need SIP support: http://microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=77c3799f-6388-4193-8002-be5 5584c1ac1 ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2004 Jonathan Kay.

Can't remember the details now. I'm using a SIP aware firewall which dynamically can open RTC ports (http://www.intertex.se) and version 4.7 has worked just fine until my upgrade to SP2. Could you please tell if SIP functionality has been removed from 4.7.3000? Regards Fredrik > Greetings Fredrik, > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >> Please Help! >> Regards / Fredrik Hi Fredrik, Yes it was removed in 4.7.3000 (as was Add-In support and a few other things). ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2004 Jonathan Kay.
