[HM] MSN Messenger problems

[Sue Rodriguez]

I had a similar problem recently, and it was solved by downloading a newer
version of MSN Messenger.  I was running 3.0 I think and I downloaded 3.5.
It connected without problem , but the first time I ran it, it told me that
there is a later version for Macs, 4 something. Both 3.5 and the 4 version
worked.

Good luck,

Sue
