Upgrade to the latest maybe?
What version are you using?
RE: "new version" popup by Th3rmal on 11-10-2005 at 05:00 AM
7.5.0306 but ive updated it 3 times in the last 5 days (1 and a half days of that i was on camp)
RE: "new version" popup by matty on 11-10-2005 at 05:06 AM
Current version is 7.5.0311
Download it from http://messenger.msn.com

Do u have Sygate Firewall, i know it tell u if an app changed and if u wanna allow the change or not.
And they're at 7.5.0311, fyi 
edit: Got beaten by the fast-clicking/fast-typing Matty again
RE: "new version" popup by Th3rmal on 11-10-2005 at 05:09 AM
i dont have Sygate but i don have Startup inspector which monitor changes in stuff like internet or download etc. i will try to d/l the new version and get back to you later
i just downloaded it from the msn site and its still version 7.5.0306 and again the same popup came up
RE: "new version" popup by DragonX on 11-10-2005 at 05:25 AM
So how bout when that popup comes up again, y not click on that one - i think that uploads the new version automatically, without sending u to the site
RE: "new version" popup by Th3rmal on 11-10-2005 at 05:26 AM
i did it about 15 minutes ago, then when i had to log out then back in it came up with the same popup

Clear your cache before downloading again

Here is a direct download: http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/9/d/99d8..._MSN_Messenger.exe
I just downloaded it and verified the EXE is for version 7.5.0311.

Are you running any skins for messenger, or patches? I had this same problem a while back, something I had installed had changed messenger so much that it was recognised as the new version on the server. (at least I assume thats what happened)

No its not it cause the current version is 311 and he has 306
RE: "new version" popup by Negro_Joe on 11-10-2005 at 03:43 PM
i sometimes have this exact same problem...
but i dont think as often, only sometimes...
RE: "new version" popup by Th3rmal on 11-10-2005 at 08:22 PM
i have the msn slate skin with all options, and 3 plugins but thats it.
RE: "new version" popup by matty on 11-10-2005 at 08:29 PM
Then its probably the skin causing it. Have you installed straight from the MSN Messenger website without skinning it?
RE: "new version" popup by Th3rmal on 11-10-2005 at 08:35 PM
no i skinned it asap, lol i cant go back to that bland look
RE: "new version" popup by thc2010 on 11-10-2005 at 10:00 PM
