I was running the 6.2 version of messenger and then I thoguht ok let's
upgrade so I tried to download the 7.0 version. it seemed to download fine
and all with the icon in my toolbar but it will not open at all. I am trying
to get it to work so I can keep in touch with my 13 year old son in MN.
anyone have any idea's as to why this isn't working??

Greetings Steve,

Have you tried simply rebooting?

If not, you can find 6.2 here:
