O.P. Cannot send an instant message
We are using Windows Live Messenger, and cannot send an instant message. I am guessing it is something really obvious that we have missed.
In Windows Live Messagner, there is an option in the menu bar at the top to Send an instant message. If I use this and choose a contact (whether available or not), the message windows opens with the two big icons, one for me and one for the recipient. If the recipient is not available, a text box contains information about the recipeint, saying that they "appear to be unavailable and when you send an instant message they will not get it until they come online" (or words to that effect). When I click on the recipient's icon nothing happens. If I hover over it a menu pops up with options like "send email", etc. but NO option to send an instant message.
Apologies if this is somewhere else on the forum, but I have not been able to google an answer anywhere.
What on earth are we doing wrong? We have re-installed, etc to no avail.
Thanks
