I recently downloaded and installed Windows Live Messenger
14.0.8050.1202. It installed with no glitches and ran the first time for
an extended video call. The video quality was great -- better than
skype. The next day, I tried to start it by clicking on the Windows
Messenger icon in my programs, and the old version (4.7.3001) started.
It doesn't even have capability for video calls!

What can I do to get the new version to run, and to get rid of the old
version?

I'm running Windows XP Home 2002 version, SP3, on a 2.8 GHz Celeron with
2 Gb RAM. I connect via network through a linksys wireless/wired router.

Thanks,

You have to remove (control panel-software-Installed Windows software)
the messenger, which is part of WinXp first, before installing WLM.


Thanks for your suggestion . . only I am not that experienced with this,
and am not sure what you mean.

Do you mean Control Panel --"Add or remove Programs"? If so, there is
no Windows Messenger listed in that list.

And there is no "software-installed Windows software" in the control
panel . . . .

Can you clarify?

Thanks,
