I'm looking for netmeeting for Windows XP, yet there isnt a version on the MS site and it isnt part of XP, any ideas?

Pretty sure it is there, go to a command prompt and type conf or search for conf.exe.

It's definitely on the HDD. Just hidden. (MS: "Why would you need to use it when you've got the supercool Messenger/RemoteDesktop service, mate?")

The following is from ActiveWin, as NooNoo pointed out.

Wondering how to install Netmeeting on Windows XP? Well you don't have to install it! Why? It is already pre- installed with Windows XP, but (by design they say) it isn't linked to anywhere on your programs menu. Here is how to load it:

1: Click START then RUN

2: Enter "conf" without the quotes

That's it - now you can Netmeet to your hearts content.
