zoem Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 i am running MSN Messenger 5.0.0575 (dubbed the windows95 version) on windows 98se. i continually get the "a new version of msn is available..." msg. i would like to disable this, preferably without using a crack/patch but will if needed. i read that this is possible to do in windows 2000, however it doesnt work with windows98se. i have also tried with msn messenger 5.0.0543, but it didnt work with that version either.

zoem Posted January 10, 2005 Author Share Posted January 10, 2005 you can't disable itabout windows 2000 i doubt it's possiblewell why don't u upgrade?is the new version filled with useless stuff?you CAN disable it in windows 2000...ms even wrote an article on how to do so. and yes, of course the latest version is full of useless crap, and 'SpeedyMSN' isnt any speedier. MSN 6 and 7 is slow as on my P133 laptop. That's why i have stepped back. This was possible to do in msn 4.6 apparantly. I have tried alternative programs, and im not particularly interested in switching to another MSN alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
