Messenger Service on Vista
I rely on the Messenger Service for networks in XP/2003.
I am not talking about Windows Messenger, Windows Live Messenger or any of its MSN equivalents which for some reason share the name. Is there a suitable alternative for Vista? Is there any good reason it seems to have been dropped? Is it possible to extract it from XP to run on Vista? TIA -- Dave Harry

TIA Take a look at http://www.lantalk.net/ for a replacement for Vista. I don't know if anything there will help and I don't know why the Messenger service was removed from Vista.

Messenger Service on Vista
many people turned off that service in XP because of an exploit that used
it. if you are behind a suitable firewall, I wouldn't have an issue running it. but Vista is supposed to be secure so they took out some good things to "be safe" "Neil Harley" wrote in message ...
