Hi
i want to install msn messenger on vista
but it tells me to install the new updates & service pack
the problem is that when i installed them i could't start windows
i had to insert the win dvd & do a repair
so how to install messenger without these updates?
(i don't want to use the online ver & a replacment like trillian)

If I know what the blue screens where perhaps I can help with what went wrong. Will it not work until you do the updates?
