I am using it but i don't think is as accesible as the other versions. Particularly something i don't like in this one is that in the file menu there is only sign in and sign out not sign in with a different accound.
To sign with a different accound i have to sign out and press tab until i find the email edit and type the email and press tab to enter password and enter but it doesn't speak very well.
I don't use jaws so i don't know how well is working with jaws. If it works with jaws i believe it will be only with jaws 6 not 5.

So, you haven't had any problem actually signing in? I can't even get that far. ARe you using window eyes? If so, which version?

No i am using supernova another screen reader version 6.3.
Did you have any earlier versions of messenger before? Because i did and that's how i signed in after installing 7.5 because it was set to remember my username and password so it signed me in automatically but to enter an email address and password manualy as i said is not as accesible. 7.0 and 6.2 are better. If you can find these are much better or windows messenger.

MSN Messenger 7.5 works with Window-Eyes 5.5. Time for a switch, perhaps?

Yep, I have 5.5 beta, and for some reason I couldn't get messenger 7.5 to work. I've uninstalled it now, maybe I'll try again later. I suppoes windows messenger will work in the mean time. smile, thanks!
