PRB: NetMeeting Chat Error Between Version 2.11 and 3.01 Clients

This article was previously published under Q296621

On This Page

SYMPTOMS

When a NetMeeting 2.11 client that is in a conference state with a NetMeeting 3.01 client starts a chat session and immediately sends a message, the following error message is returned:
Other Chats are not ready to receive your message now, please try again after the title bar shows other Chats are in use.

CAUSE

This is due to a compatibility problem between the version 2.11 and 3.01 clients that causes a networking delay in the establishment of the chat channel.

RESOLUTION

This problem does not occur when both the clients are running NetMeeting 3.01. To resolve this problem, upgrade the 2.11 client to 3.01. You can download the 3.01 client from the following Microsoft Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/netmeeting (http://www.microsoft.com/netmeeting)

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
