Handwrite feature and Offline Messages

Using Windows XP with the Windows Live Messenger 8.0. Trying to get the
Handwrite feature to work. I have installed the Journal Viewer and required
updates. Unable to use the handwriting feature.

The "send an offline message" never arrives anywhere.

Any suggestions?

Greetings Mary,

Have you rebooted since you installed the Journal Viewer? If not, do so.

Are your offline messages bouncing ("the message could not be delivered...") or are they just
not being received by your contacts? If the latter, your contacts need to be using Windows
Live Messenger or MSN Messenger 7.5 in order to receive them.

Jonathan,

Thank you so much for your fast reply! Rebooting did help Still I am not
able to use the Handwrite feature. I continue to get the message that "Not
all participants can view handwriting, so your messages will be sent as
text". That's a step closer however. I just have to encourage a friend or
two to upgrade to the Live Messenger and install the journal viewer

Regarding the Offline Messages....I basically have two Live Messenger
logins. For example Mary1 and Mary2. I log in under Mary1 and send an
offline message to Mary2. I receive no errors and the message appears to
send correctly. However, after logging in under the Mary2 ID (using the same
Live Messenger) I do not receive the offline message.....not on the Live
messenger or the email account associated with Mary2.

I was hoping to use this as sort of a "memo" feature for myself when I have
to use other logins.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
