MSN 6 instability

[pisces866]

I guess i`m the lucky one,i just can`t vox with 6.....reading all the complaints (threads)here...less faired better than me.I went thru the beta`s on this system-sound is still elusive.I use little now because it`s a memory hog.....sucks this pc dry........kinda same as kazaa..........can`t do anything else but let program run (for us lower end pc users)..read in another thread that msn won`t support lower versions of messenger anymore.........suppose some should start a petition to complain to fix it..........micro$oft nothing new.............my opinion

What kind of processor, memory and operating system do you have? Does it meet the minimum requirements?

quote:System Requirements for Version 6.0Minimum System Requirements:

• Multimedia PC with 233MHz processor or faster (500MHz recommended)
• Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Millenium, or Windows XP operating system
• Minimum 64MB of RAM (128MB recommended)
• Up to 50MB of hard disk space needed to install — after install, up to 15MB may be needed
• 256-color VGA or higher resolution graphics card (SVGA recommended)
• Minimum 800x600 screen resolution
• Microsoft® Internet Explorer version 5.01 or later must be installed on your computer, though it does not need to be your default browser

Note: If you are not sure your computer meets these system requirements, please check with your computer manufacturer.

I'm running on an old machine with Windows XP and it works fine.

There are also some known problems getting audio working, and a solution was posted in this discussion: Fix for voice conversations on MSN Messenger.
