Beta software is just that - beta. Not ready. Not finished. Has bugs. And so on. :-)

With all the questions I get here, I can't support Beta software. There should be support forums or something for the Beta, so I'd suggest you ask there.

hi, i wanted to know how i could download the handwritting feature, and i was wondering if you could give me information in doing so..
thank you

For the Handwriting tool to work yo uneed the following installed:

* Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 2000 (with Service Pack 3 or later). If you are not sure your operating system is up-to-date, go to the Microsoft Windows Update website.

* Microsoft Windows Journal Viewer 1.5.

* Security Update for Windows Journal Viewer.

I would like to find out what kind of windows messenger I have.my boyfriend and I have web cams and everytime we click to share our cams, the window says we cannot because we do not have the same version of windows messenger. so he is installing a new version of windows messenger and I need to make sure that it is the same version that I have.

thank you for your consideration,
amber
