| 319489 | 2005-01-30 21:51:00 | Morning all - just a quick one - is there an easier way to talk fellow networkers other than using Start-Run-CMD-Start Net Messenger? Other forms of Windows had Winpopup - is there anything for XP ? Cheers |

| 319490 | 2005-01-30 21:58:00 | Dont think so Shaun. Try this it says its similar / replacement for XP and other OS'es, and free. http://www.realpopup.it/ |

| 319491 | 2005-01-30 22:06:00 | Cheers once again - will try it IF the pc has been revived - I really hope so it's sooo annoying - Grrr :badpc: | Shaun2005 (6384) | ||
| 319492 | 2005-01-30 22:41:00 | Don't know if this will be of any help, but from my notes: If your using NT/2000/XP open up a command window and use the net send command, eg 'net send [computer name] [message]' then hit enter. If the other computer is running Win9x, winpopup will have to be running to receive net send messages. |

| 319493 | 2005-01-30 22:44:00 | Thanks Foxy - thats what I've been using - but it was getting a pain having to type net * send everytime - I'll try Speedies suggestion and if that doesn't work I'll just have to stick to what I've got. Cheers |

| 319494 | 2005-01-30 23:10:00 | Ah... wasn't sure if you had already been using that method or not. Try this thread (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) for some other suggestions. :) | FoxyMX (5) | ||
