The following issues are known to exist in the current version of
VoiceMessenger Force.
„ VoiceMessenger Force does not work across most firewalls or address
translated networks.
„ On Windows NT®/95/98 desktop machines, if VoiceMessenger Force
is used along with other applications that vie for the sound card (MP3
players, etc.), the application becomes unstable. Specifically, toggling
the communication mode from full duplex to half duplex repeatedly
causes the application to become unstable. This behavior is not
observed on Windows 2000 desktop machines.
„ When the MSN Messenger service closes the server session upon idle
timeout (approximately in 6 minutes), the application fails to establish
any other voice conversation after this event. The only workaround is
to sign out and sign in again.
„ In the MSN Messenger, Desktop companion, if a user hits the Alt-F4
key repeatedly when a voice chat invite is received, the application
exits and causes the desktop MSN Messenger Service to sign out. 
						

							Getting Started Guide   37
„ In a voice conversation between a desktop and the MobilePro, if the
user floods the MSN Messenger Service server by sending multiple
text messages at a furious pace, the server terminates the session. At
this point, the voice conversation ends on the computer and
MobilePro. However, sometimes the session close message isn’t
received on the computer and device, causing the voice conversation
session to remain in an indeterminate state. The voice chat session is
closed when a ‘user left’ notification is received or when the buddy
goes offline.
PhotoBase
The ArcSoft® PhotoBase program is an image management application
for your MobilePro. The program allows you to organize your images and
perform basic editing functions.
