I'm trying to install an older version of MSN Messenger than the one I have but it won't let me cos I've got the newer one installed. So I deleted the new one but it still won't let me, so I'm guessing there's a file somewhere I've missed but I can't find it :(
Did you just "delete" or did you go through the control-panel/remove-programs routine?
(Or do you use a Mac, in which case you're on your own?)

I had a fairly shite day involving only tedioucityness but I just had a midnight feast made only from breakfasts, including several bowls of muesli made the way the Swedes do it with orange juice instead of milk, a hot minced pie drowning in double cream, a bagel grilled with cheese and Yorkshire Relish, and of course tea. And now my belly is cosy.  :love5:

But now my bum is cold because I'm sitting on a bathroom floor about to have a bubble bath with candles and Will & Grace  :love5:

My mom and I just finished my Halloween costume. It's pretty good, but it fits a bit strange at my legs. :P

I just deleted the folders and then I went through Control Panel which told me it was already uninstalled. I ran System Restore, twice, I typed long and complicated commands into "Run", I installed programs that told me it would get rid of it, I consulted the help website...and nothing. I'm on Trillian now.

Sounds pretty thorough to me (although system restore could actually un-do some of the other stuff).

Dunno...

haha me either. I also installed two versions of the portable msn, but both of them crashed as soon as I tried to run it.

MS likes to block older versions from connecting and being installed. I'd say you will better off using Trillian if you don't mind about all the awful emoticons and don't use webcam (though if you buy their full client, you will have it). There isn't much you can do dispite what you've done already. You should have tried uninstalling it through its uninstall panel (I think in Control Panel or something, I don't remember by heart since I don't use windows anymore) and then deleting folders and registry entries. Nevertheless, blame MS.  8)

Haha, yes. Thanks.

This thread is 1953 pages long, which is the same year that  U.S. president Dwight D. Eisenhower delivered his famous 'Atoms for Peace' speech at the UN General Assembly.

My brain has been skewed for a couple of weeks now. I accidentally bought 2 copies of The Half Blood Prince instead of 1 and a copy of the Deathly Hallows. There fore I am stuck waiting until the used book store is open TOMORROW to take back the extra copy and cry at her feet for a deal on the 7th book, if she indeed has it. She should of said something when I bought TWO COPIES OF THE SAME BOOK but whatever, we were in heavy conversation about Jane Austen, 1984, and how books are slowly fazing to technological rule. Boo.

I tried to drink at a bar yesterday without my ID.
(edit: This may not seem horrid to you but I look 16. Though to my credit they know who I am and it was just that they've been prowled by the coppers as of late and didn't fancy giving the gal who looks 16 a break. I had, however, forgotten my purse which is a sign of my brain failage, and also I had to walk there in the drizzle rain from the coffee shop only to walk back in THE POURING RAIN so that I was soaked through and through and my jeans were still wet in the morning so I had to run out to the car in my undies at 6am (it luckily wasn't raining anymore) to get a clean dry pair of pants because we haven't emptied the car out of clean laundry WHICH IS LUCKY BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS LEAKY AND WET AT HOME. ERRR. okay I'm done)

And on a not-my-fault note, my sub polisci teacher looks like cartoon version of a college professor.
I really want my original teacher back, but it is kind of amusing to watch the comb over bob as he talks about the exciting world of voting.
