Yes Nagamasa, I downloaded WinHex and I opened msnmgr.exe with it but have no clue as to how to edit it. It looks like chinese to me :-)

Download res hacker, open msnmsgr.exe, just go to version window and change 7 to 8 and it's all :)

But now i have another problem, i cannot install msg plus on that 'hacked' 7.5 messenger. Does anyone have any idea ? :)

Hey guys, why make it so difficult??

Just leave the 7.5 version, go to the program folder, rightclick on the msnmsgr.exe, select properties, and set the compatibility mode to "Windows 2000". Now you can use it under XP without any problem, also the Messenger Plus works fine!

Keep the 7.5 alive!!

Zahid, yeah, I know about Google! :-) , but I asked a link to make sure the version he was referring to, because there are different types of res hacker utilities. Anyway, I tried what he suggested and I confirm that the trick works except that Plus! does not work as it thinks that v8 is installed.
ski 7.5, yes, we're using win2000 compatibility mode to override the issue, but it is only a temporary/imperfect solution. Firstly, eventually Microsoft will ban this too, and second Win2000 compatibility mode creates some minor issues in the MSN/Plus! functionality (for example the Email button stops working).

Also I would add the webcamera chat seems to be having many problems in the compatibility mode and any software camera enhancement programs stop working...
The "hacked" version has no problem with MSG plus at least for me... just make sure to REPLACE all the hacked files in the folder they are (do not try to reinstall)

1. I simply dont believe that the "security risk" excuse tha Microsoft uses to forse the stupid update is serious... use common sence in everything you do in an internet communication
2. It would make sence to use a properly configured HARDWARE firewall that protects from all intruder attempts wheather using MSN or not
3. Not accepting any kind of "invitation" or file or gift (!) from people you don't trust is again common sence that applies in MSN, internet or out in the streets :)

Can you explain in more detail what steps to follow? Thanks
