since in installed avast home edition on windows xp pro. i can not use the IM talk feature.
Do you use a firewall?
Does the talk feature use http protocol? If you disable WebShield provider, boot, does it help?
Is there any error message or just can’t connect?
the message that i get is that the recipient needs to have the latest version of IM. He Does. I also have the latest version. i disabled the web shield and the MS firewall. still did not work.
how do i find out if talk feature uses Http protocol.
Which IM program are you using?
Does in its website have related info about your problem?
