On previous verison of Windows, I could easily send pop-up
messages to others on my network with Winpopup. Is there
an easy way to do this in XP?
 
Windows Messenger is not really what u want. you can use
Net Send to send messages from a DOS prompt, or u can look
to a third party program that will let u do LAN messenging.
 
At the dos prompt - Start - Run - cmd
type in net send /?
it will give you instructions on how to do this...

You can use the NET SEND command at a command prompt. Or if you'd
prefer to do this in a windowed application, there are several
freeware/shareware choices available. I use a tiny freeware app
called NetHail (essentially just a GUI for NET SEND), which works
fine.
