i bought 2 of these..... can i hell as like get them to connect to the installed messenger on them.

all i get is "our protocol is not supported by the server"...

been using the onboard update settings all day, but still i cant......

anyone offer further help..?

thanks.

do you hae avg installed by any chance?

nope... no anti v at all. i was told linux doesnt need any....

Thats because since those messengers were made, MSN has changed its protocol for Windows Live Messenger, so 3rd part ones don't always work. there are lots of alternatives available for linux though.

thanks guys............

i've been uploading new updates all day... restarted 8 times... to find more new updates available.....

1, now has messenger access so.............. the other needs to catch up.

thanks again.

All those updates are strange. I unpacked lil vidsteretts yesterday. Booted it up and updated the 17 updates available. Had no others since.

My Acer Apire has spent ages updating. I think their download server must be operating on cups and string technology,
