The New MSN Messenger 8.0 by EternalFallout on 06-21-2006 at 10:51 PM
Is there a version of Plus compatible with MSN8.0?
I installed it then dl the latest version of plus & it's incompatible. So I tried to uninstall it & go back to version 7.5 but I can't. MSN 8 is a turd, no where to be found in the add/remove programs, i even tried restoring my computer back to a week & still here is MSN 8! I just cannot seem to get rid of this program no matter what I do! I'll keep version 8 (hoping for a compatible version of Messenger Plus!).
If anyone thinks they might want to uninstall version 8, i highly reccommend you DO NOT DL the latest version! After you do, you'll probably have to format your harddrive just to get rid of it.
Any suggestions?....

Yes - released this Saturday coming - http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=60770 Look here
Also I have had no problems EVER uninstalling WLM 8.0 nor has any body else I know - so you might have a more serious problem there.

Lol, it's good when you get used to it, I can't find any fault in it myself.
Good Luck anyway.

Download and run the Windows Live Messenger installer again. Once reinstalled, it should appear on Add/Remove Programs list. Remove it.
If that doesn't work:
Make sure WLM isn't running. (If it is, exit it)
You need to manually remove it.
To do this, go to C:\Program Files\ and delete the folder called MSN Messenger.
Then download MSN Messenger 7.5 and install it.
Then on Saturday you can install WLM again with Messenger Plus! Live

Wouldn't she also need to remove old registrys as well - or would this not make any difference to the problem she is having?

Or to uninstall WLM, just re-run the installer 
And you can't install 7.5 anymore since 8.0 is public.
