I would be interested in that file please. I have tried reverting back to
6.2 and it won't let me run the program unless I upgrade. Windows Messenger
works for basic functionality but it lacks the features (some of which I
actually use).
Can you email me off list or leave your email address?
Thanks a bunch,
Angela

I have a version of MSN 6.2 that will still run with out demanding an
upgrade. It will inform you that 7.0 is available but will not force an
upgrade. If you'd like email me off list and I'll send the install to you.
