Here are some ideas, not in any particular order...

Winchat... Go to Start -> Run and type winchat at the command line.

Net send... Go to Help and Support and search on the string net send for the
proper syntax.

MS Portrait... You can call direct IP to IP and chat or do audio chat...

If your both online the internet you could also use Messenger or Skype...

Best is to use Net send command from the run menu.
The syntax goes like this. net send computername or IPaddress "message"

message must be enclosed in quotes as shown.

But for this to work the messenger service of the machine where you want to
send msg. must be be started, because to receive the messenger service must
be started.

Hope this helps you.
