MSN Messenger Version

teamcullen

Hi

My brother inadvertendly downloaded the latest version of MSN Messenger onto my laptop last night, resulting in the screen now looking like a news update page with the contacts squeezed into the corner rather than just a simple contacts list.

Does anyone know of anyway I could either a) Just have a list of contacts rather than everything else or b) Go back to the older version?

Thank you

Click on your own name in the top right corner of the window - that's where the "compact view" option is found.

I think now that (finally) I have compact view that the man annoyance is seeing my surname on every message. Before you could just edit your name, now theres no option!

I am still using Ver8.5 and got it checked to compatibility to windows 2000 so i dont get the update box up constantly.

And A-Patch to take ads away and all the other rubbish.

Its in the options menu to set it , there is a next to the add contact icon a button on the right looks liek a newspaper which will shrink it.
