How can I use MSN Messenger just once without downloading the program?

Update 14-Aug-2004: MSN Has released the new MSN Web Messenger which allows you to send and receive instant messages using only a browser.

Remember that Windows Messenger can be used to message MSN Messenger users, and that comes with Windows XP.

Seems unlikely ... that's a lot of data. I'd check for viruses and spyware.

its true that if you have a labtop you can't download the msn 7.0, i read a comment that you need windows XP, it works with WINDOWS XP HOME EDDITION?

Hi All,

I have been watching this article for quite a while... I have used www.msn2go.com, webmessenger, emessenger, meebo...and all have them have been blocked after i have used them lol!

BUT www.jwchat.org is one i have been using for ages now, you need to type a username and password and click the register this user button, and it will bring up another screen when it is loaded click the preferences button, in which you need to find the gateways tab, and select MSN Transport, here you enter your email address and password for your hotmail and nickname if you wish! Then click ok, you will then get lots of boxes pop up with allow/block the friends in your list! Once you've done this all you will then have to do is type your u/name & p/word everytime you goto JWchat and it will sign you in to Messenger!

I'm guessing your teacher did it for a reason. Perhaps you should spend more time studying and less time chatting?

Leo: At my job they locked the way to use instant messenger, even if it is a good option to make my work. I used to get connected by the site www.iloveim.com but now that is imposible, so I want to know if there are some other sites that I can use without downloading?
