I am using WinXP Pro with all MS updates. When activating Netmeeting (start-run-conf)I receive the error message "windows cannot find 'conf'". I have compaired my PC to another identical PC and the files in the netmeeting folder are the same. When I try to run netmeeting from the netmeeting folder I see the netmeeting splash and then it quits. The first time however I am prompted to input my user information, after that I only see the netmeeting splash. The task manager will show conf.exe open and then close. I have tried disabling the XP firewall with the same results. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

using the full path has the same result as navigating to the netmeeting folder and double clicking conf.exe. Just a netmeeting splash screen. thank you though.

Up to today everything that I have read indicated that netmeeting could not be uninstalled or reinstalled in WinXP. After your response I figured there must be a way. There is. I found it on xphelpandsupport.mvps.org. Thanks for your help.
