Andrew S. Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 It should, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novawin Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Just for your information, MSN Messenger 7.5 will not be installed on Windows 2000/98/Me. You need Windows XP computer to install MSN Messenger 7.5. If you have a computer running Windows 2000, you have to install and use MSN Messenger 7.0. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novawin Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I don't remember Microsoft stating anywhere that 7.5 wouldn't work with 2000... 586409125[/snapback] Yes, that's right. Microsoft never stated that MSN Messenger 7.5 will not be installed on Windows 2000. However, there was a report from mess.be that MSN Messenger 7.5 only can be installed and worked on Windows XP. Finally, some bad news for the pre-XP generation. According to XxRebelSeanxX on the forum, the MSN Messenger 7.5 setup only supports Windows XP. There's a small chance that this issue is limited to the BETA.

porky Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 There is an EASY way to hack it. I can't remember the thread, but look around. I know I saw it in beta discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commodore Max Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 MSN Messenger 7.5 is in closed beta at the moment. As a tester you should report this in the feedback section of Microsoft Connect. That's assuming you are an official tester ... Anyways, I don't believe it can work on Win2k at the moment. Maybe they'll make it compatible later.
