Vista - Forced update of MS Live Messenger ver 8.1 on winXP 64 bit system

08-29-2009

Well, at 26th august, when I was logging into my messenger, I got a message
that I need to update to a newer version of the messenger.
But the problem is when I update it says that this new version of messenger
is not support my system. (guess because it is 64 bit)

Do anybody know a good solution? Or do I need to use a product which is not
Microsoft made?

Now I have not been able to use my MSN Live at all because of this.
