Re: Messenger

It is strange that this is actually a help forum for "Windows messenger" but
I do not see one for MSN Messenger of which you all are having the trouble
with. Mine is acting up and I have not done the upgrade--I already have
7.5--not sure what this upgrade is about (which is why I am here)--I do not
think I will be doing it at all.
