Signing in to Messenger Service failed because the service is not

[pipmicky]

When I try to sign into Messenger I get the following: Signing in to
Messenger Service failed because the service is not compatible with this
program. I have run Windows XP update and have installed everything that is
recommended. What can I do to get Messenger to work?

Older versions of Messenger are not able to login to the service. Grab the latest version of
MSN Messenger from here:
