I don't know if it's been posted before, if it is, then you can delete this.
You know everyone with MSN 7.5 or below recently got a message saying they have to upgrade to MSN live messenger, which i hate and i know a lot of other people hate it as well. It's laggy and eating my slow laptop's performance.
The way to get MSN 7.5 back:
- Install MSN 7.5 normally
- Goto C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger
- Rightclick the msnmsgr.exe, goto compatibility tab and select Windows 2000
Login and have fun
Only "bug" is the pixely MSN icon in your tray.

Does it kill your computer with the lag?

For the people with a little lower spec computers/laptop like myself it does make a performance hit, for example trying to scroll down the list of contacts i have in MSN live messenger, it lags like hell.
And i just like the way 7.5 looks, it doesn't have to be all flashy like MSN live.
But whatever floats your boat, i'm not here telling you to go on 7.5.
