Of course i have about version 6 for explorer, as i don't wanna pay for the other one. I'm totally confused as to y it won't work together... is it the messenger, the explorer, the xp, the fact that msn has the previous msn defaulted into it on my cpu and i need to reinstall msn explorer, or something else?
This gripe has turned into a request, into a plea, into a beg for help

MSN messenger dosent work with XP, which dosent matter because XP has an equivalent, installed by default. And its free. Well, as free as anything M$ ever is anyway. Its installed by default, should be an icon in your bottom right (and its in your start menu as well). You might need to download an update to actualy message people with it though, but its a tiny download. Itll ask for it when you try.
As for Yahoo Messenger - crap. Nuff said. AIM sucks as well.
