    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!

    Greetings,

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