Hello folks, i have the following issue...

I hate Live Messenger, is bloated, use lots of ram and the interface sucks for my taste.

Im stuck on Msn Messenger 7.0.0816 wich i think is still clean use few megabytes works for me and have most of the things i like for an msn client.

The issue is offline messages, almost the only thing i miss most from MSN Live.

Lots of friends sent me offline messages but with the client version im using i cant see them. So what i want is the ability to have the version im having AND MSN Live installed, i dont need to run them at the same time, just to open MSN Live from time to time to check my offline messages.

Any recomendations to achieve this?

Thanks

You can do this by going to C:/Program Files/
And then look for a folder called MSN Messenger and rename it to MSN Messenger 2. And then install Windows Live Messenger from:
http://get.live.com/messenger/overview
And it should work.

thanks a lot zahid! it certainly did the trick!

now to the next question...

can i run two diferent versions of msn plus?

one for msn 7.0 and another for live..

thanks

I think you can, just try installing Messenger Plus Live normally.

As far as I remember from the website, when you install Messenger Plus! Live, it disables old version of Messenger Plus!. If so, reinstall old version www.msgpluslive.net/download/old

Also note that, you may encounter some problems if you sign in both of them at the same time. Also check out here http://www.msgpluslive.net/help/faq/general/#mix-versions

ill try! thanks!
