he is talking about windows live messanger aka the old windows im program.
ms has forced us to update to the latest version by giveing you a yes no
about the update answer yes and you can select what options it installs
with the new messanger.
select no and you are logged off and the old messanger closes.

Thanks, :-)

I think I read somewhere about setting it to runthe old windows live
messenger under compatability mode for NT/2000 as the new version does not
support those OS's so won't even try to upgrade to the latest version.

Also if you have XP why not just stick with the old inbuilt windows
messenger client - it still works fine I promise.
