Windows Live Messenger and Vista Parental Controls

I have not seen this supported yet. Vista's Parental Controls has messenger
logging options such as chat's and webcams and much more, but where is the
support for Windows Live Messenger? Is this a WLM thing or a Vista thing?

Which version/build of Vista are you using? If it's a beta version,
WLMessenger didn't work on it until very late in the beta.

WLMessenger 8.1 works fine for me on Vista RTM and Longhorn Server beta.

Hi Nancy,

They're talking about the parental controls, not the fact that the application works or not.

Yes, In Vista's Parental Controls, "instant messaging" is one of the entries
when viewing the logs. In that subcategory, there are several other viewing
options relating to "instant Messaging", none of which are viewable because
WLM does not report itself as a compatible instant messaging client to
Windows Vista. So would this be a Vista issue or a WLM issue?
