outlook express with msn messenger

Killer · 15 Jun 2003, 10:50 AM

Is there anyway to have outlook express to run an older version of msn messenger? I just hate the newer version. There isn't anyway proper way of uninstalling it and installing the older version doesn't work while you got a new version there.

Do you mean Windows Messenger?

You can uninstall a MSN messenger and install another version...

To completely remove MSN messenger you would probably have to delete all msn messenger directories, as well as look into the windows registry.
Only look at the registry if you are absolutely sure you know what your doing. Otherwise you may corrupt your windows installation
Its also worth doing a google.com search for LoadQM.exe as this is a component in the new MSN messenger which automatically determines which version of Msn messenger you are using/determines what version you should download.

If you mean Windows Messenger then disregard my post. I don't know anything about Windows Messenger unfortunately.

I am refering to msn messenger as stated on my first post. Not windows messenger although they are similar. I am trying to downgrade it.
