if you want to use the fonts colours and sizes you do it like this
code:
[font=arial][size=2][color=blue] text [/color][/size][/font]


and it will give you this: text

can you provide us with some info like what operation system you use and from which version of msn were you upgrading

If you can, uninstall Messenger completely, and delete the Messenger folder (usually C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger). Then reboot to ensure all the mess is cleaned up, and download the latest version from http://messenger.msn.com/ to obtain a fresh installer.
Then just install from that ;)

Maybe it might help if you tell us what file it is missing..

I think there are three possible causes:
1) Bug in beta messed thing up.
2) You have a virus and/or spyware/adware on your computer.
3) Security software or other program is blocking the installation.

So what you can do is try to use System Recovery (start->programs->accessories->system tools) to go back to a date before you installed MSN Messenger 7 beta. If you don't have a virus scanner you can get AVG for free here or use housecall which is a online virus scanner. Cleaners for spyware and adware can be found here (Ad-Aware) and here (Spybot S&D). And finally try to close as many programs as you can because something (most likely security related software) might be blocking the installation.

Things like this are why non experienced people should not install beta products which might cause harm to your system.

Which beta did you have, the public beta or a private one. You should'nt download private betas unless you are a beta tester who knows his/ her stuff.

Maybe you just don't see the file. In Tools-FolderOptions-View, make sure 'hide protected opetating system files' is NOT ticked and 'show hidden files and folders' IS ticked.

well the only thing you should do is uninstall msn and msgplus remove all related things from msn and msgplus then reinstall msn and msgplus and dont update till an official so dont use the public beta coz it has written "A beta version is for official beta testers only. It contains bugs and should not be considered a stable version of the MSN Messenger 7 software. You have been warned.

Thankz all!
