On some XP systems an error comes up when trying to use various advanced features on MSN Messenger—such as sending a remote assistance request, starting a whiteboard session, etc.
For instance, when trying to send a remote assistance request this error will come up:
“Your invitation was not sent because you need the latest version of Windows Messenger to use the Remote Assistance feature. Please go to the Windows Messenger update site to install the latest version”
Apparently the reason for this error is that even though you appear to be using MSN Messenger, these services are driven by Windows Messenger in the back ground. At the time of writing this, the latest version of Windows Messenger is 5.1
This is a component of Windows that is installed in most default installations. If, however, it does not get installed, or the installation is corrupted, or it is uninstalled by mistake, or is simply out of date for the feature you wish to use, the you will need to reinstall it. You can download Windows Messenger from:

One of the better free Guestbook programs I’ve come across. If you have Advanced Guestbook I suggest you switch it over to Lazarus. All your settings and entries will be taken across and you’ll have a more feature rich system to use—including spam blocking, which is why I switched by guestbooks over.
What is Lazarus?
Lazarus Guestbook
Lazarus is a free guestbook script written in PHP that uses your MySQL database for storage.
Lazarus is based upon the excellent Advanced Guestbook script from Proxy2.
I took the Advanced Guestbook and added more features and several layers of anti spam protection to make one of the most feature rich and spam resistant guestbook scripts available for free.
I am always active on the forums and you can rest assured that if the spammers find a way past the current anti spam methods that I have others waiting in the wings. You can read my own guestbook to see what other people have had to say about Lazarus and my anti spam fixes for Advanced Guestbook.
