problem with msn browser

Hi all

Is there any way to connect to the MSN ISP with the normal internet connection setup and not have to run MSNs browser? I have noticed that MSN bogs my computer terribly and would like to just use IE. I don't know what causes it to slow down... always thought msn was just a skinned version of IE.

I have already tried going through the internet connection wizzard but it always says that the username/password is incorrect, even on the main user(with and without @msn.com after the user name)

Any help would help

PLEASE revert back
Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

I'm not sure about MSN, but I imagine it's just like AOL. So no, there is no way to connect without the client. That software acts as a client layer, over the networking layer built into windows. The ISP and the software share information special to that ISP. The regular windows dial-up networking doesn't know what to do with all that stuff. Really, if you're going to use IE... What's the point in paying for MSN? Surely you can find a cheaper ISP where you can use IE and Outlook instead of the proprietary software of MSN or AOL. Better yet, try cable modem or DSL... no dialing at all then.
