Re: Windows Messenger and Yahoo Messenger

It's okay I found the answer on google - I've "upgraded" to Windows Live
Messenger. Strange installation process though because it didn't actually
upgrade it, it just installed Live Messenger so that I ended up with two
Messenger programs, and had to uninstall Windows Messenger afterwards!
Weird.
