407080 2005-11-24 19:52:00 Is there anyway to download an older version of MSN Messenger from somewhere? My wife has v7.5.0299 on her PC and it is “glugged” up with adverts and rubbish.
I still have v 7.0.0816 on my PC and it is not too bad. We both run the add on Plus and find that excellent for voice notifications of when family and friends come on line.
Appreciate any comments

407082 2005-11-24 20:19:00 the problem of useing old vers is the holes in them get exploited quite often and sometimes the network gets changed so the old vers won't work on it.

how about a 3rd party IM chat prog such as trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/).

407083 2005-11-24 20:31:00 or........you could download this file which will cure the probs with messenger 7.5.........and allow you to run multiple versions of it on the same puter at the same time so that both you and your wife can have your messenger progs signed in at the saem time........

Good luck in getting any older versions to run. ;)

I wanted to use the older version that I have here but it insists on trying to download the latest version and won't run the old one. :(

407086 2005-11-24 21:58:00 Uhm, do you have a firewall in your computer? Renmoo (66)
407087 2005-11-24 22:22:00 firewall is irrelevant it's messenger it'self .........did you try that file I put up for you ?..........if you download that and run it on the system with messenger 7.5 it'll give you options to remove the advertising and etc and run multiple messengers .........it does work I've got it on my system and I dont get ads etc..... drcspy (146)

Possibly similair to the other program posted by another member.

The top wide panel "Important announcemess.be" theres a link to Mess Patch - Get that.

Highly recomended to clean your msn from the garbage (ads, dynamic backgrounds, etc)

Reverting to 7.0 wont save u any system resources and 6.5 will barely either.

407089 2005-11-25 20:46:00 Hey thanks for that - downloaded that file but it only works on 7.5.0306 - the latest from MSM is 7.5.0331 so will not work on that – grrrrrrr! stuffed (1469)
