I just installed the Messenger 6.0 and have installed it. I can start it up just fine and my contact list shows up just fine. But as soon as I try to do anything with it (send a message, receive a message, play a game…) I get an error message and have to shut down.

I’m using Windows 98 (yes, I used the correct download), and have ADSL. I never had any problems using any past MSN messenger versions.

Anybody know what the problem might be?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hmmm… If u didnt get it from MSN.com, it could be a fake version. if u did get it from msn.com, id say uninstall it, redownload it and reinstall it

I downloaded it from MSN.com, so there shouldn’t be a problem there. I’ve already tried uninstalling it and downloading/reinstalling it a few times… same problem.
