how to make old msn messenger versions work?

[chmaniac]

I want to use an older version of MSN Messenger because my computer is only 32 MB Ram, so the newer version runs slowly. I downloaded msn 6.2 at oldversion.com but when I connect, it says " You must install the newer version in order to continue" . Is there a patch or something to make the old versions work?

try the search feature and read past postings as im positive this has been asked and answered before .

I looked at the topic "msn messenger older versions" (see below) , downloaded an hex editor, "cracked" the executable and that's it! thanks gaffer.
