    couldnt download WLM. (99% only)

    Hi. I am new to windows vista starter. I tried to download the latest
    version of windows live messenger but it only stays to 99%, it
    couldn't finish. I tried to download the previous version at
    oldversion.com, and it was successful, but I really like to use the
    latest version. Pls tell me what to do, why is this happening?, my
    vista is updated. Also, I tried to download the latest version of
    yahoo messenger and yahoo messenger for vista but failed too, and I
    tried to download again at oldversion.com the previous version of YM
    and it worked, it wouldn't let me download YM for vista in yahoo
    website.

    Please help!

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    Can you be more specific about the problem? If you're really unable to download anything
    past 99% from both my server and Microsoft's then you may have a larger problem.

    Re: couldnt download WLM. (99% only)

    Hi,

    We do not have a problem downloading anything else from other sites. We did
    finally get the WLInstaller.EXE downloaded. But, when it tries to install it
    is only successful for the Sign-in Assistant and Messagner; Mail gets to 99%
    downloaded and stops.

    Any suggestions?
