I tried re-intalling Messenger 5.1, it initally downloads it but when it is
trying to use Windows Installer an error comes up reading:
 A network error occured while attempting to read from the file:C:\Documents
nad Settings\Melanie Christel\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5\GLU3OPQN\messenger[2].msi
Then it cancels my installation. I am deperate for help, since I can't
download anything using Adobe. Thanks in advance for your help.
Also I am currently using Messenger 6.2 I believe
