Greetings,

What are you trying to update to? There is a Windows Messenger 5.1 it looks exactly
identical to what you're using now, and really only adds functionality for the
corporate
space.

The consumer version of Messenger has moved to Windows Live Messenger, which isn't
an
upgrade
from Windows Messenger but a completely different version. You do use the same sign
in
credentials to log in though, and you'll have your same contact list.

You can get Windows Live Messenger here:

Hi,
How do you update windows messenger, the current version I have is 4.7
(4.7.3001) when you already have the Windows XP home edition version 2002
service pack 2.
