NetMeeting, where art thou?

I find using NetMeeting makes it easy to access my other computers in the house without having to go to each PC physically. However, at times, it tells me that the certificate I have may no longer be valid. I have found that re-installing NetMeeting resolves this problem:

I found out how to remove and then re-install NetMeeting from Kelly's Korner.

Remove: Start/Run/RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\WINDOWS\inf\msnetmtg.inf,NetMtg.Remove

Reinstall: To reinstall, open the Windows\Inf folder (this is a hidden folder, so you may need to adjust your Folder Options to show hidden files and folders. Or you can click Start, Run and enter %systemroot%\Inf). Locate the msnetmtg.inf file in the Inf folder. Right click and select Install. Have your XP CD handy.

One interesting fact I found out about NetMeeting is that when it is open, then Windows Media Player seems to have a problem with the codecs to show recorded programs from ReplayTV.
