I have been trying to download the messengerplus version 4.01.0.240 and each time when i have finished it is version 4.0.0.240.  Can anyone tell me why this is happening?? Runing windows xp home.

Delete you internet cache and download from a mirror like http://www.feluowns.com/MsgPlusLive-401.exe.

Was 4.0.0.240 even released to public ?
The only version released to the public were
1. Messenger Plus! Live 4.00.234
2. Messenger Plus! Live 4.00.235
3. Messenger Plus! Live 4.01.240

Have you been downloading from this website?

how to delete your cache:

firefox:

   1. Click Tools and select Options.
   2. Click the Privacy Icon.
   3. Click Clear across from the Cache option.
   4. Click Ok.
   5. Exit and relaunch the browser.

internet explorer:

   1. Click Start, select Settings and Control Panel.
   2. Double-click Internet Options to open Internet Properties.
   3. Click Delete Files. NOTE: Do not select Delete Cookies. Delete Cookies removes all the cookies stored on the computer.
   4. Click OK on the Delete Files dialog box.
   5. Click OK.

EDIT: added note

I have cleaned out the cache and checked out where i downloaded it from and it was from msgpluslive.net/download/
when i hover the mouse over the one i have downloaded it says it is version 4.0.0.240 ......i clicked on the 4.01.240 and thought that was what i was downloading, but ended up with the other one.

A version indication of a file is kept in many places. What you have downloaded is version 4.01.240.

The file itself is reported by Windows to be version 4.0.0.240, but that is only because the field used by Windows to get the version number wasn't updated properly.

VS_VERSION_INFO (used by the tooltips in Windows Explorer)
    File Version: 4.0.0.240
    Product Version: 4.0.0.240

StringFileInfo (used by the File Properties in Windows Explorer -right click file > properties-)
    FileVersion: 4, 01, 0, 240
    ProductVersion: 4, 01, 0, 240

To clearly identify a file you need to make a hash of it.
The MD5 hash of the latest version (4.01.240) is: 371d1c3eaabb6a069ac3d5726181bff6
The CRC32 hash is: 34476661

You can check this using programs like HashCalc or the likes (Google for more, the net is full of them).
