A friend related this technical problem with MSN Messenger to me recently. I
asked for a detailed description, and this is what I got...
"there are no error codes. what happens is this. i won't be signed into
msn at all. but all of a sudden someone will send me an MSN message and it
will come up at the old MSN 4.3 version, totally not updated, the one i used
back in like 1999 or something you know? so what i have to do then is tell
them that i'm going to sign out, and use my 7.5 version, the only one that is
installed!! anyway so i try to sign into the 7.5 Version, and the little
twirly box (like my description?) comes up that says "you are signed into MSN
at another location; we are now signing you out of that one and into your new
one" (paraphrase) and so the 4.3 closes out, and 7.5 opens up and all is well
again."
I suggested completely uninstalling any versions of Messenger she may have
on her PC, and then downlaoding a fresh copy of 7.5. I thought this would
work, but the proplem still persists. I am at a loss for a solution. Any
suggestions. I am about to start waving a white flag...
