The email I received had a link to the Windows site to download the new
version 8 of IM. I hosed over the initial install, uninstalled it and tried
to redownload it. However the Windos URL no longer has this available
(WIERD?). So I tried to reinstall version 7.5 - but now that complains that I
have a newer version installed (8?) and refuses to install. I am in a catch
22 now and can't get IM installed at all. DOes anyone know of a URL that has
the newer version? Or what the heck I have to do to complete get IM out of my
system so that I can reinstall 7.5 ???

Thanks in advance.
