all u need to do is install an Uninstaller program...! search on google like "uninstaller" i'd recommend "MY UNINSTALLER" ... once the program is there.. run it .. it'd search fr every posible thng tht can be uninstalled from ur pc.. n there it is! press the uninstall button once u've got the list of uninstallable installs n for sure ur messenger wud be there... im sure coz ive tried... once u hv uninstalled .. u can easily install any older version u want to! :)

Wow Wow Wow

Ok follow these steps to make messenger work:
(* = optional)

-Uninstall messenger. I recommend ZapMessenger (https://messengergeek.wordpress.com/!E3785B1281BBDA1!1118.entry?sa=143276365). *
-Next go to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-essentials-2707b879-5004-4349-c4a4-e5900945f2a9 and download the latest version on messenger. *
-After that right click on the msn icon and click properties.
-Under the shorcut tab click on the 'Advances...' button.
-Check the 'Run as administrator' box.
-Then click ok.

I know that for some people you are not the Administrator so you will require someone's password but this is the only way that is works (that i know of).

These are instructions for making it work for Vista so it might be slightly different.

If you require any further help don't hesitate to ask

I have upgraded to version 2009 of msn and now I when I video chat I can see and hear the other person and they can see me but cannot hear me.
I restore back to before I upgraded to v 2009 and the whole messenger is blank...all contacts gone but when I get a video call we are good with seeing and hearing each other. HELP!
and I cannot get back to the older version.
Is the v2009 not compatible with older versions?

Please help... thanks :)

Hi, I got in here looking for answers because for 2 weeks now I haven't been able to use my windows live messenger, tried everything, I had deleted it cause I was upset at someone on it, then when I tried to download it, kept saying I already had it so it wouldn't download, annoying!!!!!!! I figured out what to do finally, so I wanted to let you's know here what worked for me. I found a free download called, "Windows Installer Cleanup", It cleaned out all my leftover files from my previous installation, & voala, I finally could download it again so it's back to normal. The only thing tricky about using it is after you download this you cannot use it from your desktop, you have to go into start, all programs, find it there & use it there, hope this helps others. rosy.

Hi
To find msn messenger, go to control panel. add and remove programs and then on the left hand side it says add/remove windows components. scroll down to the last one and it is msn messenger.

Ok, I had the same problem before, not anymore, I will tell you how, because I asked MSN and they did not give me any good real answer, here is the solution, it works for me, I hope it will worl for you.
1. Uninstall the new messenger, you dont have to uninstall the rest of the software.
2. Log in the Web and download installl MSN explorer.
3. log in in the MSN explorer, once there download and install messenger 8.1
4. then log out from the msn explorer, you should be able to log in with the messenger 8.1
5. If you cant, then sign in msn explorer (where a voice greets you "good evening,morning" (remember ?)
6. if this doesn't work, you will need to restore your system to a date before you installed the new messenger.
7. then follow same steps from above.

You should have someone- a friend come and see if they can help you.
Becuase it does good for another person who isnt used to your computer, and look around and go to places you would normally look!

you can search it on vista, just go to the start on the bottom and then just type in msn and it'll show a bunch of msn icons and you click the one you downloaded,

Hey I was having this problem too!! I downloaded the new MSN and couldn't get signed in... confusing to say the least!

To fix this: Uninstall Nvidia Network Access Manager!!

Do that and you will get signed in

Hope this helps

Cheers,
