What program do you folks use. I have attempted rather unsuccessfully to use MSN. The service with it has been trouble from the get go. Crashing the system. locking things up, blue screen of death... Today it says having trouble connecting to the internet. Problem with connection...Funny that I seem to be on the internet right now... LOL

I have both msn and yahoo messenger.

Try downloading 'windows messenger' its the same thing but its faster and seems to work better for me.

I use Messenger. Here is the link for the new Messenger Live Beta 8.0 version that allows you to chat to both MSN and Yahoo contacts.

I use msn...I love it,its great that my sis in FT.St.John and my Best friend in Beaverlodge can talkwith me a few mins.almost everyday.

Some people have trouble with msn ,I never have,but I only have people I know on my msn. and don't go to chat rooms...they just cause problams in my opinion

Ya try that..we were having trouble with Adobe,so deleted and reinstalled now it works great. The thing with msn,I have heard other people do have problams but I wonder if its because of the chat rooms....just a thought.

PS...your avatar looks like I feel this morning...gotta go get a strong cup of java,maybe get me out of this fog Laughing

I use yahoo 7.5 but just stay out of chat rooms and you should be fine...its a great way to talk to family instead of on the phone....
