Coinciding with the release of the 1.1.06 version I now find my 1.1.04 versions won't work any more? (all my contacts have kept the older version too) so am I correct in thinking you've nobbled the old version coz you want everyone to upgrade to the new release?

I wouldn't have minded updating but I DON'T WANT WINDOWS MESSENGER INSTALLED ON MY PC!!! and frankly I feel I can say with confidence I'm not the only person to feel this way.

Whilst I fully appreciate your programming efforts, and the months of care free file transfers you've helped on their way, I really think you should both give people a choice as to whether they want to upgrade, and think long and hard about making it compulsory to have a piece of crap like Windows Messenger installed on their PC?!?!

Actually I must agree on what Hoca says. It's exactly the same reason why I didn't update. I'm still using 1.0 Release. (Hoca, if you want 1.0, you can get it here). My contacts who use FT+ also don't want to reinstall Windows Messenger (cuz most of them removed it, just like I did).
