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

    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    that I need to update to a newer version of the messenger.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.
