MSN Messenger

came installed on my computer...Dim. 4300. I have, in my carelessness, deleted it. That was last year. I now want it back. Will I be able to reinstall it from the disks that came with the computer? Does that mean that I have to reinstall everything, or will I be able to find that one thing on the disk and install it?

If this is the wrong forum...please give me a redirect....thanks!!!

    Dan.......I have been there many times, today. I click on download, it takes me to the next page and hangs. I cleared out my history yesterday, Mair suggests that it might be my Anti-Virus hanging me up. She suggests also that I go to task manager and shut it down while I download anything. The only thing is...(and I'm really too embarassed to say, but I don't know how to do that. I'd probably accidentally uninstall my Norton. )

    Hmmm...

    This is not a hefty download and normally installs without problems. It's always a good idea to disable your A/V (right-click on the tray icon and select, "Disable Auto Protect") and to dump your TEMP and TIF files beforehand. Other than this, you really shouldn't have to shut everything else down although, it certainly will not hurt anything. To do so, do a "Control | Alt | Delete and "End Task" on everything except Explorer and Systray.

    You might also try it via the Windows Update site. If you do not have it installed, it will be detected and offered as an option for download.
