Has anyone got Messenger Plus! 2 to work in longhorn?  I tryed runin it in XP compatiblity mode and it didn't help. Just curious.

I haven't heard of anyone running it in Longhorn, but I don't suppose it's not possible when you bare in mind that it has only been created for Windows versions upto XP.

up to Windows 2003.

And yes, it does work (at least an older version) in Longhorn:

yup i got it to work too, just had to use compatibity mode
msg plus! in longhorn, nice 
now any idea how to make screen shot sender to work

and an off topic question, ur version of longhorn has that nice light blue look to it, i just have the black slate, is that how the older versions looked? i just got LH version 4053.

just thought i would throw in a screen shot

Longhorn is Alpha Software from Microsoft.  It has not been supplied to the official testers of Messenger Plus! 3, nor was it supplied to the testers of Messenger Plus! 2, therefore it may not work as it should.

I personally would be interested to perform some diags on it in longhorn.

well if u want to get a hold of a copy i can let u know as i went threw it all 2 get it and set it up, its stable 2 me i have np's with it and i'm ruin it on its minium specs, 700mhz, 256mb ram, it uses alot of ram and if u have a decent to good comp i'm sure u would enjoy it, dunno about as a primary OS, just b/c not all programs have been tested with it

LOL, im on 56k for one.  And for two, Im not sure Patchou wants testing on it, however if Patchou did I would use it.  I have a pretty good system.

pretty offtopic here, but how is longhorn running for you guys?
I might be getting a new computer and i'm thinking about running longhorn on it

i dont have it, it isnt a public release.

LH is running well for me, my comp is kinda slow so ofcourse it runs abit slow but if u have a good comp i'm sure it wold b a blast, it has alot of nice graphical stuff, dunno how 2 explain it but yeah its nicely layed out
i sujest if ur gettin a new comp and want 2 try it out, dual boot whit w/e u have now, lets assume xp and LH. it all depends on what ur usin ur comp for to, if ur just surfin the web abd stuff and don't have much valuable data the go ahead. safest bet tho just had another OS adn u'll b fine.
