Why am I being forced to upgrade to MSN 6.2?

[Chris]

Can anyone tell me why am i being forced to upgrade to
MSN 6.2 in order to logon to the msn messenger? I really
hate to be forced to do something that I am not willing
to. So can anyone explain what's the reason that I must
upgrade to 6.2?

Thank you very much

Hi,

The reason why the MSN Messenger is asking you to upgrade is because you
have asked to do so by enabling the Customer Experience Improvement
Program. The Customer Experience Improvement Program is designed to improve
the quality, reliability, and performance of MSN Messenger. Because you
have the previous verison of MSN, MSN customer program requests you to
upgrade to a newer version to take advantage of the new functionality,
features, etc. To disable do as follows:

1. Open MSN Messenger
2. Click the Tools menu on the MSN Messenger main window.
3. Click Options, and then click the General tab.
4. Uncheck the "Allow Microsoft to collect anonymous information..." check
box.
5. Sign out and sign into MSN Messenger.

Hope this helps ...... :)

Hi,

I'm afraid this isn't correct, Messenger checks your current version when you sign in and
forces you to upgrade (depending on your current version) whether you have CEIP enabled or
not.
