Hi, Windows Live and Messenger are in fact the same. People just use different terms to confuse you <smiles>. Seriously, Messenger is very accessible with JAWS versions 8 and higher. The person you're chatting to, so long as they have a Windows Live ID and the client they use supports the .Net Messenger service, then you'll be able to talk to them. There's built in help for Windows Live Messenger from within the JAWS application, so you'll be able to know how to use it just by looking at the section, which is under Popular Applications, Microsoft Applications, Windows Live Messenger. Hope this helps.
