Hi,
Yeah I'm not surprised, that beta installer is terrible. Flash is used for the winks, dynamic display pictures, ads and goodness knows what else. There really isn't another solution for what they want to do (besides creating their own technology like the old Microsoft Liquid Motion) so I think we're stuck with it. Could be worse, it could be RealPlayer...  -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2006 Jonathan Kay.
