Hello,
I tried to use the MSN Beta, and was very unhappy, because what it did was freeze up. I got know error message, it just froze up solid.

Now, I have removed it, and was trying to download Windows Messenger, but to no avail. It is saying I have to have Windows XP SP2, well excuse me? I tried to install SP2, and I got a screwed up Computer for my efforts.

So Now I want to know if I need to reformat to a newer Windows XP Home?
I am running into all kinds of problems with Microsoft. I am sure it is because I don't have SP2 in it, but SP2 does not seem to be compatible with the XP Home I am running.

Or, do I just have a Computer that needs help?

Does anyone else have these same problems with a 2001 XP?

Thanks in advance

SP2 is compatable with all Windows XP machines. I dunno why it doesn't work

You can download MSN Messenger 6.2 from here

Windows XP SP2 comes with Windows Messenger already installed. If you cant find it, go to CONTROL PANELS, ADD/REMOVE and ADD WINDOWS COMPONENTS. Tick Windows Messenger. This will give you access to Windows Messenger. I think when you sign in, you will get an 'update alert' The update can be downloaded in Windows Messenger or you can get it from the Windows Update site.

MSN Beta has worked perfectly fine for me.... but a couple of mine friends and also experiencing problems
