you aren't, Messenger 2009 needs a file 2011 replaces. I suggest you use a virtual machine, like Orcale's VirtualBox or Windows XP Mode if you're in Windows 7 Business or Ultimate.

Well if you don't have access to a separate computer, I would advise you to just delete WLM2009, install WLM2011 and try it out.

MsgPlus! v5 should be out soon for WLM2011 as well.

If you decide after a while you don't like it, you can easily downgrade back to WLM2009.

You can't install them, but there is a "portable" 2009 version downloadable somewhere. [By the way, I didn't remember that by the time of my previous posts :zippy: Sorry for that]

Use at your own risk, by the way.
