On Windows NT®/95/9 8 des k top machines, if VoiceMes s enger Force

is u s e d alon g with other ap plications that vie for th e sound card (M P 3
player s, etc.), the application becomes unstable. Sp ecificall y, togglin g
the communication mode from full duplex to half duplex repeatedly
causes the application to become unstable. This behavior is not
observed on Windows 2000 desktop machines.

When the MSN Messenger service closes the server session upon idle



timeout (approximately in 6 minutes), the application fails to establish
any other voice convers ation after t his event. The only workaround is
to sign out a nd sign in agai n.

In the MSN Messenger, Desktop companion, if a user hits the Alt-F4

key repeatedly when a voice chat invite is received, the ap p lication
exits and causes the deskt op MSN Messeng er Service to sign out.

36 Getting Starte d Guide

In a voice conversation between a desktop an d th e M obilePro, if the



user floods the MSN Messenger Service server by sending multiple
text messages at a furious pa ce, the server t ermina t es the session. At
this point, the voice conversation ends on the computer and
MobilePro. However, sometimes the session close message isn’t
received on the computer and device, causin g the voice conversati on
sessi on to remain in an indetermin ate stat e. Th e voi ce chat session is
closed when a ‘user left’ notification is received or when the buddy
