Please forgive me if this isnt the right forum and point me in right
direction if possible..... Having major problems at moment tryig to download
and install my latest updates ie Mircosoft Framework 2.0 Service pack1, i
have tried this a few times and totally unable to download it, gives me
error code 0x643 which i have looked into and followed the instruction the
best i could, ie i have looked in ADD/Remove programe,s to remove earlier
versions but i cant see any ??? I have tried to download Windows Uninstaller
Tool which seems to download and then vanish ??? Also i have lost my MSn in
last few days which i think may of been the root of the problem i tried to
upgrade to the latest version of MSN, it downloaded ok but came up with error
saying unable to Install as unable to uninstall old version of MSN ????
Someone please help as this doing my poo rbrain in and im really not that
clever with these sort of things .

The current version of MSN is 9.5 so if you are trying to update to 7.5 it
should be no surprise that it is telling you that you have a newer version
installed.

YW & thanks for your feedback.

"New version or 7.5" of what, Windows Live Messenger? ...MSN Messenger?

Assuming WLMessenger, you can post your query to this Windows Live
