WHY CANY YOU JUST TELL PEOPLE TO USE THIS if u cant instal especially the

http://www.freemessengerstuff.org.uk/...
download it, and run it, and it does all this for ytou, SIMPLE, honestly guys, i feel the sincerity, but i havnt really had any help that works on this issue, and never found much useful help for MS stuff...
the ZapMessenger solved this problem in seconds, tho i realised NOT to instal latest msn messenger again, TOO buggy, it had to be re-installed every week, and more often than not wouldnt re0instal at all,
so am now using the previous version
why cant MS do a type of ZapMessenger? so simple

dosnt work.
all that happens is one week later HERE YOU ARE AGAIN>
its NOT my fault it seems to be MY HOSTS FAULT what are they doing about it? NOTHING so here i am AGAIN
not only that troble shooter as usual dosnt even get round to the repair that it CANT DO.
i know how to get rid of the crap that a programme I SHOULDNT HAVE TO BE UNINSTALING IN THE FIRST PLACE, is uninstaled, i know what top delete, it is SIMPLE TO TELL FOLK HOW TO DO THIS< we really DONT NEED A PRGRAMME TO DO IT FOR US< we can learn things you know.l

this is bloody ridiculous, so its AT :LEAST ONCE A WEEK NOW HOSTS FILE (cant resolve names), and KEY PORTS it THINKS its firewalled in, its NOT, and it thinks its cleaning hosts file, ITS NOT.
also these file cleaning things, they aint any use to most people! most people dont know what things like administrator means and they THEY can be one! it just makes them feel LESS IN CONTROL OF THEIR OWN COMPUTUER, and there for less in power.

what can i add here, nothing that hasnt been said technically before..
so here i go uninstaling, cleaning out the trASH, AND RE-INSTALING, ALL SO IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN NEXT WEEK...

A comment on the question "Live Messenger won't install, Now I can't use remote assistant for help" in Microsoft Corporation:

its all happening all over, am unable to sign in, cant resolve names on host thingy. i think the error code is 81000306,
have followed all instructions, and it seemed to think the connectability was resolved, however, it still seem quite unable to connect unless i go the http://webmessenger.msn.com/default.a... link, – paul, on March 15, 2009 17:35

actually, its fine.. to delete those files, THEY are the reason that its not installing it seems.
and now know that i can make shortcuts from the stuff in programme files, wich is upsetting as i see much to do about that on forums..
msn ,essenger is now running fine,
deleteing those files left over ,manually, worked, full stop..
the fact that i deleted those LEFT OVER files, means that when i re-installed after, it was all clear for the installer to do its job... how much more simple can that be..
now the only problem now is messenger, wich though rrunning fine, keeps spamming me through my contacts chat windows...

neither on desktop nor start menu, and as i had exited, neither could i do it thru task bar,

AND
its still useless, it when finally re-installed after first log out, i couldnt help but notice it hadnt installed any icons to start it up again...

paul replied on March 08, 2009 10:55 to the question "Live Messenger won't install, Now I can't use remote assistant for help" in Microsoft Corporation:

i couldnt use the westrax, or whatever it was called clean-up thing as i am not the administrator on this set up, and wont be able to do anything that way till friend gets back..
however, couldnt you simply have told me to go into programme files and delete the remaing bits and peices? when i discovered thats how simple it was i was very angry with the given dumbed down advice

i'll try that now! thanx for reply! appreciated brandon, i'll try that now!

paul asked a question in Microsoft Corporation on March 04, 2009 13:47:

why does Messenger 2009 14.0.8064.0206 think its already installed when i try to instal? ETC....

why does messenger when i open and begin the installer think that i already have it installed when i personally uninstalled it before this...

why wouldnt the previous attempt ( when i was getting dns cache or likewise log-in/non-connection issues) when i got the sign in pop-up not let me swith to manual sign-in, there for even if it wasnt getting log-in errors, then would not have been able to sign me in anyway as it was stuck in automatic sign in with my old password, and would not give me opion to change to manual sign-in...

so i reinstalled a fresh installer after uninstalling that one, and it thinks that i have messenger installed and only gives me the option for photo gall', writer, tootbar.

what the hell is going on

my version ox XP is ver' 5.1 buil 2600.xpsp_adr.080814-1236: Service pack 3

the version of messenger is Messenger 2009 14.0.8064.0206

also, that search result thing below me is claiming falsly to have 338 answers, when its the same 5 questions more or less, repeated over and over

paul replied on March 04, 2009 13:27 to the question "Live Messenger won't install, Now I can't use remote assistant for help" in Microsoft Corporation:

well, the live help was kinda what i expected, mainly how do i write emails kinda things, and hacky stuff
but lef ta message probably in the wrong forum as there was NO WAY ro navigate to the "right" forum, not only that but the question search no matter what i wrote in it, and diliberatly tested it too by writing mickey mouse on last try, came up with EXACTLY THE SAME PAGE OF non relevant answer in same order (yes you gussed it, the SAME PAGE) EACH TIME wooops caps,

so it was even worse than expected, as was the new messenger...

at wits end, i might not bother....

M3 sweat said "You may also want to visit the Windows Live Solution Center for support for Windows Live services as noted in this post and available directly here. "
howver these live helps are generally very teddy bears and hug stuff, i have NEVER found any helpful technical advice in them,
its so infuriating, especially with microsft acting ( actually similar in its arogance to US foreign policy) like the one true god
