 Forum Trouble

dwergs says ( 26 Nov 2002 ):

 Weekly Poll #2

 Poster Shop

dwergs says ( 25 Nov 2002 ):

We've set up a little poster shop. No Mess.be posters (yet!), but a limited selection of music, movie, funny or babe related products. Feel free to have a look! Until December 2nd there's a FREE SHIPPING offer in the U.S. for orders over $35.00 (enter coupon code K75-787-W4V when ordering). Shipping to the rest of the world isn't too expensive either. I've just received my order of the Pulp Fiction and Jimi Hendrix poster in Belgium.

 msn 5 api... again

timothy says ( 25 Nov 2002 ):

Finally Microsoft admits what most people already knew before msn 5 was launched, there is no working API in msn 5 installed on a XP based system. And microsoft ain't going to provide a solution for it (except using windows messenger 4.7) These downloads have been updated for use with Windows Messenger 4.7 on Windows® XP and with MSN Messenger 5.0 on versions of Windows prior to Windows XP. Note that MSN Messenger 5.0 does not support these APIs when it is installed on Windows XP. If you are using Windows XP and would like to use these APIs, you will need to use them with Windows Messenger. [Source: MSDN]
