    Hey people. My friend and I usually like to draw stuff when we are on MSN using the Whiteboard function. But ever since I got Vista, that function seems to be gone in Live Messenger. I know it is part of NetMeeting, but they don't have it anymore for Vista. Is there some way to get it working? Thanks.

    I couldn't find anything on Vista Live Messenger. I know there is a Windows Live. I'm just trying to get the Whiteboard function to work.

    Yep, it works for me. Wait. Is Whiteboard the writing option? Like the little pen button on the bottom of the window? If so, yes, mine works.

    Oh no not that. Whiteboard is actually a program that opens up like Paint and you can draw with your friend simulatenously. I'm not talking about handwriting.

    Oh, my bad. I don't use Whiteboard, so I don't know if it works...
