| 178543 | 2003-09-28 01:24:00 | Since upgrading from version 5 have been unable to make voice contact.Initial upgrade was not clean so uninstalled but after downloading to disc am unable to install. The message I now get is "Unable to extract file due to low memory or disc space or a corrupted cabinet file." If I try to open at download site I get the same message. What must I do to overcome this problem as there is ample memory, 96 Ram, and 2GIG free disc space? I am presently using version 4.5 which works ok but no audio as my contacts are on version 6. |

| 178544 | 2003-09-28 01:39:00 | Your download sounds as if it is being corrupted. My advice is to, in Internet Explorer (assuming you use it, of course), click Tools -> Internet Options and click on the 'Delete Files' button in the under the 'Temporary Internet files' section on the General tab. |

| 178545 | 2003-09-28 03:58:00 | Many thanks for your prompt advice. Followed your instuctions and now have version 6 operating OK except that we still have no audio in spite of disabling our firewalls. Do you have any suggestions as MSN has been less than helpful over this problem. | johnandcoll (4645) | ||

Do you have any suggestions > as MSN has been less than helpful over this problem. You are very luckily before to get MSN voce to work! (If you do a search on here, you will find that not many people achieve this, including me, who is on a network) If you still cannot get MSN voce to work then my advise to you is forget about MSN & use Yahoo messenger for voce (it does a better job at it :), as I have found out) PS: johnandcoll Welcome To Press F1 :) |

| 178547 | 2003-09-28 05:05:00 | Stu, thanks for your comments. We have had problems on and off with voice using versions 4.5 and 5 and it is only since upgrading to 6 that we can't get it to work. MSN keep telling us they are working on the problem but no joy yet. | johnandcoll (4645) | ||
| 178548 | 2003-09-28 10:33:00 | You might want to try MSN 6.1, which apparently has fixed that for a few people I've talked to. Google for it :-) |

| 178550 | 2003-09-28 22:24:00 | Do keep in mind that it is still a Beta release, but Im sure its worth using (For you and your contact) if you can use the voice conversations :-) | Chilling_Silently (228) | ||
| 178551 | 2003-09-29 00:30:00 | Johnandcoll I have the same problem, having been able to use voice with the previous version, but not with 6. I uninstalled and reinstalled it several times, with no success. Now, if I wish to use voice, I switch to yahoo messenger. I will try uninstalling/reinstalling later, as on a previous occasion, with an earlier version, it suddenly worked!! I never did find out why, but I assumed msn messenger had altered something. Good luck. |
