Ok it's actually been renamed Windows Live Messenger and it's a Beta version.\n\nGo to the link below which will generate an automatic invite then just follow the steps.\n\n\nOr you can download it straight off from the second link at MSGSHIT.\n\nHope this helps!

Windows ME is the worst windows ever made... Seriously. Are you sure it's solely the messenger's fault? I'd look for spyware and viruses as well... But you never know.

Sorry you don't like it. Here is something I just now found. No guarantees. :) Open your add/remove window in controls and check the box at the top that says "show updates". The go down the list until you get to Windows XP - Software Updates. There should be a line for WMP 11. Actually two lines. At least that is what I have. Try uninstalling now. Like I said no promises. I'm happy with version 11 so I'll stay with it.

The new interface is in beta phase, meaning they're testing it.  It's randomly made available to some users & locations, at certain times.  It just happened it wasn't available when you opened it at home.  It should be available for everyone once the beta is finished.

If your program is not genuine (windows wording) do not send any error reports or request updates. If you do either they will put an icon on your tool bar and keep reminding you to go genuine.  They also shut off your firewall. Sorry I couldn't give you more information but thought this might save you from problems with old Bill Boy.

I've seen several forums where people are working on this. Seem Microsoft knew how to do it right. The people trying to get it off are like you and using illegal software. They are upset they can't get it off without causing lots of other problems.\n\nYou do know that the hotfix has been reporting back to MS everyday. They do know who you are. So enjoy your illegal software.\n\nWindows Genuine program revised following uproar \n\n\nMicrosoft has bowed to public pressure, releasing a version of WGA that no longer validates Windows using a server-side configuration\n\nBy Elizabeth Montalbano and Eric Lai, IDG News Service\nJune 27, 2006 E-mail    Printer Friendly Version \n \n\nResponding to pressure from irked Windows users, Microsoft released an updated version of its antipiracy program on Tuesday that changes the frequency with which the program checks for pirated or counterfeit copies of its client operating system. \n\nA new version of Microsoft's Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) Notifications program available now no longer checks a server-side configuration of a user's version of Windows every time the user logs on to see if it is a valid copy of Windows. Instead, it periodically checks to see if the user's copy is genuine. \n\n"Our customers have told us that they were disappointed with their WGA Notifications experience, and we have made an effort to improve that with this update," a company representative said in a statement. \n\nTuesday also marks the end of the pilot phase of WGA Notifications, which means eventually the program will run on all versions of Windows XP worldwide that use Microsoft's Automatic Updates system. The program is currently in a phased rollout, beginning with all English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Italian and Dutch versions of Windows XP. Microsoft will soon offer these users the updated WGA Notifications through Automatic Updates. \n\nMicrosoft has mounted an aggressive program to eliminate counterfeit and pirated versions of Windows, and WGA is a part of that. The program was first distributed not as an automatic update, but to users of Microsoft's download services who wanted to install add-on software, excluding security releases, for Windows. \n\nMicrosoft later updated it with the WGA Notifications program, distributed as part of Microsoft's Automatic Updates, which reminds users their copy of Windows is not genuine and informs them of what Microsoft calls the "benefits" of using authentic Windows software. \n\nUsers can opt out of WGA Notifications, but not the WGA program in general if they want to use Microsoft's download services. With the new release of WGA Notifications, Microsoft is including instructions for removing an older version of the program from a PC as Knowledge Base article No. 921914 on Microsoft.com, the company said. \n\nSince WGA's release last year, users have complained of bugs in the program that identified legitimate copies of Windows as counterfeit. A privacy advocate also accused the WGA Notifications of acting like spyware, since it sends information about a user's PC back to Microsoft automatically without letting the user know exactly what information is being sent. \n\nUpgrading the program so it does not contact Microsoft every time a user logs in should help remedy the latter issue. The new version of WGA Notifications also includes a more comprehensive End User License Agreement that clearly explains the purpose of the software and details about the program, Microsoft said. \n\nOne Windows user said he has installed the new version of WGA Notifications with no problem. Steve Smith, owner of PC Manager, an independent PC reseller in Newport Beach, California, said the change to the program makes it easier for resellers to work with new clients who may have some illegal copies of Windows running internally but worry that trying to fix the problem could cripple them tempora

I just got this from my CallForHelpTV newsletter about Windows Vista; Windows Vista is undoubtedly the most eagerly awaited software release of the past year. And staying true to form, Microsoft has pushed the release date back a few times. As the projected release dates have drawn nearer, was always an expectation that a delay announcement isn't far off. However, it appears the wait is almost over... really... probably. \nVista beta testers who reported one or more bugs during the development were given access to the final release as of yesterday. In two weeks, the final release will be available to volume license customers. If you're interested in getting your hand on a stand alone copy to install on your existing computer, you still have to wait until January 30. \n\nI hope this helps.
