Alternatives to msn video messenger

altin_2

Hi.
Anyone knows any alternative to Windows Live Messenger?
Have the error 80040154 on my messenger, have tried all methods from google search, without any success.
Anyone use something similar? Will need to use video messaging.

Can't really find it(do I need a plug-in?)
There is a way to transfer the friend's list from Messenger?
Thanks for replies.

Ah, think I'm getting confused with Trillian; and hence why I still have Live Messenger installed; so, no, I think at this moment in time - no webcam support.

Try aMSN.

Or, do yourself a favour and use Skype instead.

Thanks for the tips.
They both looks OK.
Can you use Skype to video-call Windows Live accounts?

No, you use Skype to video-call other Skype accounts.

My preferred solution would still be Skype. All you have to do is convince the people you want to talk with to open a Skype account and install the software.
