i can't install windows live messenger, it gives me an error
after about 65% of the installation process. anyone else
experienced trouble installing this on vista, or is it just
me? i tried shutting down all other programs i had running,
there's nothing wrong with my internet connection.. idk what
the problem might be.

My Msn has been acting like a tool for a little over 1 week now, I manage to get on line for a few minutes then it kicks me off. Then when I try to reconnect it shows some error code. Which is pretty rare since overall I had almost no problems with Msn. At any rate, it's frustrating.

I use vista and the only trouble that I've had with Msn is that it sometimes losses it's connection for a second.

Do this.

Change the date on yr computer, your msn will be OK again. Apparently its a bug. If your date is reset, yr msn hates you and won't let you use it. If its not reset, just change it to other date for awhile.

Although I must say I enjoy the quietness of you being offline, what kind of error do you get?

i was getting a lot of problems too, so i tried installing different versions of it and none worked except v 8.1 which has most of the same features that the new one has
