SYMPTOMS
Customer tries to use a Chat site service such as MSN or AOL but the device doesn't work on these Web sites.



CAUSE
Chat rooms usually require special ActiveX controls. Because MSN Companion does not support downloaded ActiveX controls, many chat sites will not work with MSN Companion.



RESOLUTION
Chat isn't supported on MSN Companion. However, you can use the Messenger feature to send instant messages to your friends and family. Just click the messenger button in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen to use this feature.
