    Keep in mind that this is still a beta version.

    It seems that the more they do to WLM, the worse it becomes, my biggest beef is that I have tried to go back to older versions of WLM and it will not allow me to use and insists on upgrading. I still like WLM but in my case, WLM lags my pc and it should not, I have tweaked it and tried to figure out why it causes my pc to lag but all has failed. I am currently using v8.1

    You might want to look for an alternative such as yahoo messenger, or Skype.

    You might also try and un-install that beta version and go back and install a version that is stable which I guess is that crappy 8.

    If you really want to use the MSN messaging service without using WLM, Trillian and GAIM are good messaging programs to use. Yeah you'll run into some minor compatibility issues on certain things such as voice chat and some file transfers, but it gets the job done.

    I have build 8.5 for xp and it seems ok.

    I suggest installing the newest non-beta version or use other programs like what w4k3upn0w and Smith6612 said.

    PS: Don't ever get messenger plus because of it's history with spyware. Info.

    I would get rid of the beta version, and get an older version. If that doesn't work for you, try pidgin it tends to work really well. :D

    Other than using Trillian/Gaim as what Smith said, another good alternative is Pidgin, which is also a good freeware that allows you to talk across IM Networks.

    My problem with WLMb is that it takes up a lot of HD space and lags horribly. That's why I use http://meebo.com Best IM I've found.

    Not to mention if you use https://meebo.com you can bypass some school filters ;)

    Lol, I'll add something else now :P msn+ doesn't give you adware, I have too many anti-virus programmes on my computer and plenty of RAM to run all of them and they are anti-adware etc... and msn+ doesn't bring anything in because I got DriveSentry staring at it constantly.

    When you install it with the advertisement thing in the beginning, you agree that it will install adware (advertisements program), so it can't be counted as malware because you agreed to install it. You could choose not to install the adware
