Vista - trouble downloading windows live messenger

When I download the Windows Live Messenger it says there was a(n) error
downloading that my windows live is probably on safe mode if so how would I
tell and how would i take it off

Greetings,

Although I could be wrong, this is the first I've heard of any "safe mode".

What you might try instead is to install Messenger manually. To do so, download and run the
MSI file:

If that installs without an error (it'll just install and disappear if it's successful), then
install the Communications Platform:

If you're Vista and all of this worked up to this point, you can now try running Messenger
from the start menu. If you are using Windows XP, then you'll need to install two more
components, just the same as above:
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/redir/w3rc/dw20.asp
and
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/redir/w3rc/msvcrt.asp

If you're still having trouble with any of these, the exact error that you're seeing would be
very helpful.
