I wasn't sure which version of msn messenger was the latest. I knew which version I had, but couldn't see on their site if I had the latest. So when I got a note to upgrade, I did. When I upgraded, I could no longer open it. It said check my internet connection. I did a 'go back' and wal'la, it now worked just fine. Tonight AOL IM said I wasn't using the latest version and to upgrade. So, I clicked ok and let it upgrade me. Then I could no longer log on. It could not get an internet connection <but my internet was working fine.> I even disabled my popup blocker. Again, I decided to do a 'go back' and in the next second it connected and opened just fine. So, for those of you that 'know' these type things... what's up with that?
