Hi,
I spend this morning getting current music track status on gtalk. Although the job is trivial but there is a trick involved when you have a vista operating system. Had to figure out my self with some hit n trials.
Problem statements:
When you install gtalk messenger setting current playing track on wmp11 as the status on gtalk does not work.
googling on the net give result with lots of people advising for re-installing wm11 and gtalk and then trying. Do not do this, its just waste of time.
Assumption:
wmp11 on vista as the base environment
follow the steps and you will be done without much of pain:
1)
download gtalk setup. right click->run as administrator (this is the key step)
-> accept the t/c and carry on the installation. You can see the installation being done at C:/Program files/
-> Once installed go to wmp11->tools->options->plugins->background
->on the right pane you can see gtalk with selectable box
-> If it is not selected select it... Apply and you are done.
Run you gtalk set current music track and let the world know what you are listening to.
cheers
