In reply, yes I did have problems opening the older version of MSN Messenger which I had v6.2. The newer version 7.0 worked fine.
Everytime I tried to open 6.2, I was getting an error message. That is why I posted as regards copy/paste or cut/paste.
Appreciate the time and effort in providing me with your explanation.
I did manage to eventually get both versions to works but more by way of chance. I am also not sure whether this will be a stable outcome in the long run.
This is what I did. After installing version 7.0.0186 (v6.2.0205 already installed), I used system restore (took a snapshot immediately prior to install of MSNM 7). I deleted the remnant of the MSN Messenger 6.2 folder from the Program Folder and recopied it back again (into program folder).
This subsequently allowed v6.2 and v7.0 to open albeit one at a time. Potential downside is that I have 2 MSN Messengers listed in add/remove version 6.2 & version 7.0
Many thanks again for your kind help.....
Cheers
system restore should have removed version 7 all together...
