| | Re-install Windows Live Messenger 8.5? Hi, I just recently downloaded the newest 2009 Version of Windows Live Messenger, and I HATE it. I want to put Messenger 8.5 back on my computer and get rid of the new one, but I'm not having any luck. Help? Thanks. |

| | Re: Re-install Windows Live Messenger 8.5? You haven't said whether you've got the Messenger 8.5 MSI installer or not? If you have then it should be a simple case of un-installing messenger 9 then running the 8.5 installer. If you don't have the installer, Jonathan Kay has a copy of it which you can find here :- http://messenger.jonathankay.com/redir/wlm85.asp Jonathan is a trusted source so no need to worry about viruses etc. Colin Brown WL MVP "Musiclover" <Musiclover@xxxxxx> wrote in message news  428A051-FF2A-4AB5-A597-35C2E85FA333@xxxxxxQuote: > Hi, > I just recently downloaded the newest 2009 Version of Windows Live > Messenger, and I HATE it.
