| | Where is it? I've tried to download Live Messenger from MS but the installer says I already have it. Where is it? I've tried looking in Program files. Looked for a start menu item called Windows Live Essentials. Searched "Live messenger", "messenger" and "Windows live messenger" - nothing. Add/Remove programs had an entry for unistalling Live Essentials but when I clicked it it said it wasn't there and did I want to remove it from the list? Where is this thing located?Or, how do I convince the installer that I don't already have it? Many thanks.... Ripper |
