Messenger and XP
 

Morning all,

I want to install messenger 4.7, and all looks OK after I've done it. The only thing is, when I click on the icon, nothing happens. I've tried installing removoing and re installing it but to no avail.

For reasons I'm not going into, I have successfully installed version 6 and it works fine, but I've now removed it as I can't use it for what I want.

Any ideas anyone? My hunch is that somewhere the original version got corrupted/deinstalled and it's now confused when it tries to run it.

Listening out.

Cheers

Splat.

And to add, I've come accross this:
