MSN Messenger reset to old version after Windows Update

[Guest]

This is the second time I've used "Windows Update" to update security and
other "critical updates". This seems to work fine. However, when I start
MSN messenger, it is reset to an old version (4.7.3001) rather than version
7.x that I had been using before the update. Very odd. Anybody experience
the same?

You have two Messengers on your machine, Windows Messenger and MSN
Messenger. I bet you opened Windows Messenger. Try opening MSN Messenger
and looking at the version number.

The critical updates have nothing to do with it.

Thanks,
I didn't think the update should have any effect... but one never knows.
You're correct; there are two messengers. I hadn't opened either, but
responded to a chat request. It appears to have deferred to the Windows
Messenger. Silly, I didn't notice...too many applications open all the time
to pay attention to everything.
