MSN Messenger for Mac

I have only just started using mac, my desktop computer is a windows pc and I use msn video conferencing to talk to all my rels back in UK.

I am having real trouble dowloading a version of msn messenger for mac that will work. I can type talk but when we try to have a video conversation it says that I am not using the latest version of msn messenger.

(phoned msn to ask what the latest version of msn messenger for mac was and she said she could not tell me!!!!!!!...weirdo)

any ideas? tx

I have downloaded both versions of Yahoo and Messenger for Mac and neither of them allows the user the ability to have a voice chat (conversation) with a PC based machine. Text messaging works fine. Voice does not.
The only success I've had is with iChat - however, that has been between a Mac Plus and a Mac powerbook.

Nonetheless, this is extremely frustrating. Any solutions?
