Messenger Upgrade and now what?
I have a user who was using MSN Messenger 4.6 running
Windows 95 and now one of my clients is forced to upgrade to version 5. The only problem is that this user doesn't meet the system requirements for the upgrade. This client is pretty angry and I don't know what the tell him. Any solutions?

Greetings Sam,
Which System Requirements can't the user meet? If it's just Mhz, or RAM, they can be ignored, it'll work anyway. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Sam" wrote in message ...

Running a 486 platform, but Messenger 5 requires a P90
system. -----Original Message----- Greetings Sam, Which System Requirements can't the user meet?

Hi Sam,
I don't have a 486 around here -- does the installer actually check? I think you could probably get away with it (5 isn't that much more intensive). ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Sam" wrote in message ...

I'm not sure what you mean by "Does the installer
actually check?". Are you saying that the client should try downloading it and try to install it? What will happen if it doesn't work, will the system crash with errors? -----Original Message----- Hi Sam, I don't have a 486 around here -- does the installer actually check?

Hi Sam,
It won't crash with errors -- these are "recommended system requirements", there is nothing in MSN Messenger that is specific to the Pentium chip. Worst case scenario is it goes too slow to be usable. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Sam" wrote in message ...
