Hi Leo,
I would like to install MSN7.5 but my pc prompt adminstrator pass word is required. How can i install it without my company adminstrator password. Many thanks

To the best of my knowledge you cannot. It requires administrative privileges.

Well, every time I try to sign in a msn it say it is error 80048416. It says that there is something wrong with the keyports, I don't know what a keyport is and whenever a I click repair it doesn't work. What do I do, and If I need a keyport, where do I get one? I really want to work on it.
