live messenger ... signs me out every 5 minutes ... tell me how to switch back to 7.0 or 7.5

I use the online version of MSN's IM, that way nothing needs to be downloaded:

ok I just realized one thing after reading the 2nd post solution.
you will have to change your version each time a new version comes out.

that is rather inefficient, is there any preferment solution to this problem?
I am trying to use messenger 6.2 on windows 2000, but it won't let me, I thought live can't run on 2000 at all, so why is it bothering me to update?

HI guys,

visit a great website fun for everyone
www.oldversion.com

this trick actually doesnt work. if you look at the list of old msn's on the oldversion website, you will see that all you get for the build id is 6.0, nothing further. in order for it to work, you have to know the full build version like 6.0.0.45.2. simply knowing that its 6.0, will not help you.

Yes, there is a way to get MSN Messenger 6.0 working again.


Download: Hex Workshop
Be sure to have MSN 6 exited before you use Hex Workshop.
Open MSN 6's msnmsgr.exe in Hex Workshop.
Click the Edit menu, and click Replace.
Click the Type arrow, and select Text String.
In the Find box, type the version of your MSN 6. (That also include the build number, i.e 6.0.0602)
In the Replace box, type 7.0.0813. Click OK. Click Replace All. Click OK. Exit Hex Workshop. Open MSN Messenger 6. You should now be able to sign in.

Perhaps it no longer works but it obviously did at the time as replies stated that it had worked with them,Look at the age of the post things can and do change with time.

Im also Having problems with the Newest Windows Live Messenger Version 14.0 what a mess.I had to upgrade cause its says in order to use Messenger you have to upgrade to the Latest Version.I have Windows XP with Service pack 2.Now I get a message that says " We cant sign you in Messenger Cause the Service is unavailable" I try uninstall it and go back to to messenger version 8.5 but now I lost Windows Photo Gallery which I think was included with Messenger 14.0.olderversion says theres a patch at mess with messenger I cant find it.I will go with Yahoo messenger I guess.
