Administrator status

Hi Sir/ Madam,
I've recently downloaded WLinstaller to cover my old version of MSN.
However, whenever I want to sign in, an error message box pop-up showing:
"You cannot sign in to MSN Messenger because you are using an old version of
MSN Messenger.
Note: To upgrade MSN Messenger, you need to log on to this computer as a
local administrator"

But I'm the administrator of this computer, & I had cleared the
AUTOMATICALLY RUN MESSENGER WHEN I LOG ON TO WINDOWS.
So, how can I do to sign-in with this new MSN?
Thank u very much!

Re: Administrator status

Greetings,

Try installing directly from the below link and seeing if that generates any errors. It
sounds like it may not be fully installing:
