The only thing that has appeared when I press 'Download" is :

"Error!
Could not locate remote server

You tried to access the address http://g.live.com/1rewlive3/en/wlsetup-custom.exe, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page.
Make sure your Internet connection is active and check whether other applications that rely on the same connection are working."

Maybe this link is uncorrect, but it shows up automatic! But if this link is not correct which one is?

Sorry for bothering you, but I really don't know why I can't sign in without this new version of messenger and then why I can't download it!

Thanks for your willing to help!!

PS :
Sorry for my english, but it is not my native language

Hi!
I have followed the instruction I 've read on the net:

1.Right click on yout Windows Live Messenger Icon
2. Click on Propreties, You'll see many tabs, select Compatibility
3.Click on Compatibility Tab.In this Tab you'll see'Compatbility Mode'
4.Check in front of Run this program in "compatibility mode"for:
- if you use Windows XP, select W. NT or 2000
5.Apply and OK this setting

It works now.I can sign in, but some black frame surround my 'emotions'??? I don't know whats wrong.

Let me know if this helps you and do you have problems with emotions!

Btw, i am a girl :)

Bye
