Re: Messenger/MSN Explorer

What version of MSN Explorer are you using? I have the latest, 9.6, and also the
latest version of Windows Live Messenger and I do not get an error in MSN
Explorer. I suspect that you have an older version of MSN Explorer installed.

Pete, you can find the version information within the MSN Premium program.
From the menu in MSN Explorer:
Help & Settings
About MSN
The version will be shown there. If it is anything older than 9.6, you need to
upgrade it.
Click on More Information in the About window and then look for the Update Now
link within the first few paragraphs of the new window that appears.

If that doesn't work or you are at version 9.6 already, please contact MSN
