From what I know, Windows Messenger is the successor to MSN Messenger in Win XP.

No, I have not made any changes to the OLD/Original (Windows

other posts on other lists, Windows Messenger is not easy to Uninstall
(I have been unable to find any info in Add/Remove Programs - for
Uninstalling Windows Messenger).
Now, When I look under Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs, I see an
entry for MSN Messenger (but still nothing for Windows Messenger).
It appears that Windows Messenger is linked to Outlook 2002, but that
MSN Messenger is a separate/New messenger program (like AOL IM, Yahoo
IM, etc...).
This doesn't sound like an Update to me... I am just wondering what
happened here & if other Windows Messenger users have experienced this
issue.
Thanks for the Reply.

Did you make any changes or uninstall and reinstall
the old version?
