in hopes I could download the most recent releases -
well - I must have done something wrong because the
messengers now download, but then they do nothing - I
click them and they do not respond - BOTH of them are
like this and I am worried I really f'd up my machine - I
am running Windows XP, came with the HP pavillion I
have...

Can anyone help? Is there a place to check your windows
to ensure you have all the needed compnents? Sorta like
the update, but that just makes sure your windows is
complete?? Or, am I "barking up the wrong tree?"

HELP PLEASE!!!

Yes! your system no longer recognises the stuff you are
downloading. You need to put the stuff you removed back
on the system first and then update your software!

the icon to begin the program - seems to have dl'ed ok...?
