i have a laptop. a really old, toshiba laptop. it has Windows XP.
i recently had to do a full restore on it, cos it was acting up.
everytime i try to install windows live messenger, as i did before it got rebooted, it says some nonsense about not being able to run on XP.
can someone please end my n00bish behaviour and tell me what to do?

Re: Problem with Windows Live Messenger
hmm, i got around it by downloading windows xp service pack 2 and microsoft installer 3.1
about 2-3 hours download time, but it works now :)
