I'm trying to get MSN to work, but each time I try to login to it, the box dispears and asks if I want an error report sent.

I can't find it to uninstall it and would really appreciate it working again.

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks

    I will check - but I think I tried that and it wouldn't allow me.

    Will have a look see once I've finished breaking the rest of my computer :(

    uninstall msn and install the latest version.

    Make sure your windows is upto date, go to google and search for "update", MS update will be the first or second search result.

    Try ... Start Button > Computer ... open up "C" drive .. then open "Program Files" ... look for a folder for MSN ... if you find one then open it to make sure it is for Messenger ... then delete it. Afterwards, run a cleaner program. Try and install a new copy of Messenger. If all that doesn't work then you are fnucked.

    I'd rather use Pidgin, but that's just me.
