I get an error message saying:

" Signing in to .Net Messenger Service failed because the service is not
compatible with this version of the program. "

I have two options, retry or cancel. When I retry I get the same error
message. I do not understand why it will not work as before, and let me
update the messenger. When I added MSN Messenger 7.5 now I have 2
messengers, and I would prefer to only have one, and hopefully just Windows
Messenger.

Can you help me on this?
