Although I download the new Microsoft Windows Messenger version 5.1.0680,
which was released on May 13, 2005, on the Microsoft website,
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a8d9eb73-5f8c-4b9a-940f-9157a3b3d774&DisplayLang=en
, the file remains version 5.1.0639 and the file size remains 6.60 MB. I want
to know that whether Microsoft has updated the file on their server or not.

I hate to ask this question, but I will anyway.
You said you downloaded it. Did you execute or install?

When I clicked onto the install file, it come up with a window saying
'repair' and 'uninstall' or something like that, I know it defiently said
Repair though. I don't think Microsofts put the correct file up yet or
something.

Try it again. Seems that updating the same download location with a newer
version causes caching issues.
