Best multi network IM?

Possible to run in game too? Connectable to msn and xfire especially - playxpert is so buggy and doesnt even update and the xfire msn plugin kept losing connection. I just need something to speak to msn contacts while gaming really ^^

Thanks

Not sure prob not, altho there are loads of addons for it, so maybe.

Last time I used it was a good few years ago (maybe longer).

edit:Wouldn't ingame messeging involve some sort of hook? which could be interpreted by PunkBuster/Steam/Warden etc as a cheat

Shame it so buggy that i cant even get it to update or even install the game driver???

It keeps disconnecting from msn and xfire even though both are allowed in router firewall

Im running vista ultimate 32bit

Damn...no vista support
