| | Re: Cant download files Hi Malke, it is happening with any IM... but I have solved the problem in a way... I downloaded the MSN messenger onto my usb stick and loaded it onto my laptop... it worked. However, it doesnt solve the problem really... what about the ppl who dont have another computer to download from... hmmm I cant believe they would release something that has so many flaws and can get away with it. It would be like it Toyota released a car that the wheels didnt rotate!!!! The engine's fine... but sorry you have sort out the wheels!!! Ppl would be up in arms!!! Microsoft... is making me want to go to Apple!!!
