As i want my old windows messenger 4.7 back.

uninstall 5.0 and go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/messenger and download 4.7

It wouldnt let me uninstall 5.0, but during installation of 4.7 it uninstalled it. Annoyingly it wont sign in claiming the sign in name or password doesnt exist, yet i sign into MSN messenger fine. Strange...

Straiting some things up (mostly for GiantSpider):

Handwriting Plugin doesn't work properly with Windows Messenger.

JnrzLoader is originaly being made to be able to have multiple logins (polygamy) without Patching MSN Messenger. A added feature is the signing in with "offline".

Windows X's Edition has a basic polygamy patch (just the same as you can download on mess.be), just as Choli described. So using Windows X just to have polygamy is seriously overkill. Just install the polygamy patch and you have exactly the same beheviour as Windows X without all the hasle of installing all the skins and the problems you might get with it...

Who said that somebody can't use Windows Messenger 5 just because he hasn't a corporation????? Windows Messenger 5 is "pointed" at corporations, it doesn't mean you can't use it as an individual. In fact winmsgr 5 and 4.7 are different programs with different options. Just use the one which suits you the best.

Windows Messenger 4.7 isn't old! It is also "a" latest version of Messenger... just like there is a latest version for Windows Messenger 5, MSN Messenger 6.2 and MSN Messenger for Mac...

I cant logon to windows messenger...
It says sign in name or password doesnt exist, yet i can log on fine to MSN messenger.

GiantSpider fight's back:
Windows X is good for the skins. I probably would have recomended it anyway. What by the Windows Messenger thing is that it's mainly the corparate edition. And since there is a version 6 you could say 5 is old.

Theres a version 6?

But can i stress yet again i want my windows messenger to work!! Ive neevr had a problem with the msn and windows messengers both with plus installed and both signed in... Ive tried closing MSN mesenger then just using windows then signing in, but to no avail...

It seems i might just have to resort to polygamy

Version 6 was leaked onto the web with a build of Longhorn

That would explain why its not on the microsoft site

How are these things leaked onto the web, surely ms would be able to stop their next version of windows getting leaked?
