Hello!

I had MSN 6.00256 working fine, no advertisement ect.
MSN has released a new version, which I must install to login.
How can I get a ad-patch for that version? pls.

regards

Hi everyone, I am runnng win xp and have no problems with installing the new public beta. But a friend of mine is using 98 and he also has this freezing problem

Ive tried to get some more details for him ( but i think he is currently smashing his computer up) basically it downloads, he clicks sign in and the icon rotates a few times, then the whole program freezes.

He has the windows updates, i suggested he updated IE, that hasnt worked either and I cant think of what else to suggest to him.

thats nice.

we have told them, they asked him to update his IE and it hasnt worked.

IM sorry, for telling you about this, I figured when the other guy asked for more details on the freezing problem someone else was having, it was ok to ask here.

well its not designed for operating system(s) under 2000 to my knowledge... so theres going to be issues and they won't fix as they no longer support the operating system(s).. sorry to say that

What build is it? (Help > About MSN Messenger)

If its lower than Version 6.0 (6.0.0268) then uninstall it via Add/Remove in Control Panel, then install the newer build 0268 for Windows 98/ME at this link: http://g.msn.com/7ME.../EN/SETUP9X.EXE

We believe that users who have updated over their older versions is causing the 'sign in freeze'. So uninstalling an old version and then installing a new version should ensure a clean install without problems
