I think you'll have a problem as I found that once Windows Live Mail is installed, it wont let you install an earlier version of messenger as it says something about a newer version of windows live being installed. I then tried installing my old version of messenger first, but found that it automatically installed the newer version of messenger over it when I installed Windows Live Mail. Might have been something I was doing wrong so give it a go. Will be happy to hear your results if it works.

I can't find it. I've installed the windows live package, without msn, as I believe the latest version of msn isn't very accessible, so I'll get a separate download for that. Thanks. Terry
