Well, I still in use the MSN Messager 7.0 cuz my system was Windows 2000.
Even with my Windows XP SP1. It does at most allows me to install it only with
MSN Messager 7.5. Personally, I hate m$ it forced me required to upgrade my
system so that could be use the new version.

For me, it's only a chatting application so actually I did't need too newer and
it spend my system's resource extensively.

So, I'll wait under I have get a new machine.

I think someone could help you anyway smile.gif

    covering even part of the visualization screen, it ups it's performance. If you put a separate

    From What I heard about WMP11, Microsoft's original plans for Windows Media Player (WMP)
    11--formerly code-named Aurora--were fairly low-key, with just a few minor new features. That's
    all changed: Microsoft has canceled Aurora, and the company is moving the Longhorn media player to
    XP. Now code-named Polaris, WMP 11 will be a major release. There's just one problem: Instead of
    shipping in November, as per the original plan, WMP 11 will now ship in a public beta during that
    month, coinciding with Longhorn Beta 2. The final release is roughly scheduled for ear....
