FAO - Jonathan Kay - re sharded folders

My friend has tried to set up a shared folder with me - I already have one
with her - except I get an error every time I try to reply YES to her
invites.... We both have messenger Live. Any ideas on solutions?

One question: How she is trying to set up a shared folder with you? if she
wants to send a single file she will use the single file option. If she
clicks Open your Sharing Folders she will automatically open the file you
"already set up". Try to send her something using sharing folders.

Greetings mac,

What's the error message being displayed?

Either way, a quick solution might be to completely remove the shared folder (on whatever
side has one created). You can do so within the Tools menu (or press Alt-T if it's hidden),
then Options, then Sharing Folders.

Check the settings in your firewall, make sure Sharing folders arent blocked
off.
