O.P. Huh?  Enable Handwriting In 7.0
This may be a long opening post, so bear with me.

I can't enable the handwriting feature in Messenger 7.0.  Here's the reason why:  I upgraded from 6.xx to 7.0.  To enable handwriting you supposedly need to download Journal Viewer 1.5 from Microsoft.  But before you can download this program Microsoft requires that they run an authenticity check on your PC first.  If it's not a legit copy of Windows then they will not allow the download (or any other future support).

I live in Thailand, which is the home of pirated software.  I bought a custom built PC and apparently it was loaded with a pirated copy of Windows.  My authenticity check came up negative.

A friend then turned me on to Messenger Plus!.  He had loaded the handwriting plug-in while still running 6.xx.  I took his suggestion and downloaded and installed this plug-in.  It didn't work.  Obviously so, since upon further reading of the plug-in it mentioned that it works only with 6.xx.

I desperately need the handwriting feature since it acts as a whiteboard.  And I need a whiteboard-type function for business purposes to exchange ideas for a tool design.  And, I need it NOW!

The question I have is this:  can I work around my problem by having someone with a legit copy of Windows download the Journal Viewer (which I assume would be an .exe file) and then send me that .exe file which I could then install on my computer?

I don't want to promote anything illegitimate here, but I do need to get this feature to work.

Or, is there another version of handwriting that works with 7.0?  Kind of a stupid question since 7.0 comes with this feature.

O.K., can I go back to Messenger 6.xx, in which case the plug-in would work?

Or, are there other Messenger options/features or plug-ins that provide whiteboarding functionality?

This leads me to another series of questions, but I'll post those separately since they're not specific to this question.

Thanks,

Pete
