Remote Assistants
Application sharing, i tryed uninstalling reinstalling to get other options life file transfer etc? i have winXP pro with sp2

I have tryed attaching a screendump of what i get.

Those are the default ones that are standard on MSN.

When you want to send a file you go to "file" then "Send A File Or Photo" in the conversation window

Hi, how do i select the rest of them i;e file sharing etc

I have the other icons they are: "msn photo swap, Msn calendar sharning and file sharning it seems when you open the tab it connects to a server which county are you in? or maybe the services or offline.
