Hi,
Sorry for my later response to your help.
I have now Windos Life Messanger working. I do not know what made it work.
The only thing what was different from the previous times when I've tried to
dowload it was that I upgrade the yahoo messanger, too In desperation because
as i said I need "the messanger". Which strang,e After I did that I was able
to uploade the windows one, too.
I know its not much of a help for you, but just to let you know That I fixed
my problem and that I hope you all succed with yours.
Bye and thank you for (all) your sugestions
