OK it works now(after installing Windows Messenger;)), but isnt there a other way because this one is dependent on windows messenger.

sorry for my bad english btw

Not on XP: the Messenger API Type Library is not implemented in the XP version of MSN Messenger, but it is in Windows Messenger. The reason you can use the API with MSN is because it uses WinMsg as a 'middle-man'.
