When I launch Meeting Space (Vista Ultimate), People Near Me starts, but the Meeting Space interface doesn't open, so I can't start / join a meeting (no window). I haven't used it before, but assume it was working at one time...

I've checked to ensure the firewall isn't blocking it - it's not.

Does anyone know what services / ports should be enabled for Meeting Space? My guess is that there is either a conflict with another app, or the services / ports aren't enabled?

I have uninstalled / reinstalled it but the result is the same.
I've tried to find information in other sites / microsoft included, but no go.

I also have Windows Live installed... and (as I understand it) Windows Live is meant for online collaboration, while Meeting Space is meant for face-to-face meetings. Does anyone else use both / have both installed and functioning? (wondering if the two conflict).

Otherwise, I'm connected to a home wireless network, with IP v.4 and IP v.6 running on this laptop. The only repetitive Problem Report that seems to be repetitive is a SQLWriter error (below):

Any ideas? ~ thanks in advance!

I've found the necessary ports / protocols / services that need to be started and made sure that they are in fact started. There are a number of them. Most of them were enabled in the Advanced tab, for 'Public' but not 'Domain or Private'. I've enabled all of them to be sure - but the problem remains the same... I can't get Meeting Space to launch. Still looking for a solution.
