Is there a lighter version of MSN or a program that can use MSN you can download? Everytime I'm on MSN it eats up all my resources, and heaven forbid I got a couple covos going at the same time Doesn't help this things a piece of junk, but of well. I know there's Web Messenger, but are there any other programs out there?

trillian, lets you have msn, icq, yahoo, irc and someother from 1 programme, think its good on resources too...

Messpatch from www.mess.be will allow you to modify messenger and remove all those useless and annoying features, such as the ads. Works well for me.

sounds like your talking about www.meebo.com doesnt bog up computers from what i see but i dont know how you feel about that

you should try "googletalk" no features at all!
should be very light but i'm not very sure!!!!!!

or try msn 7.5 xD

windows live msgr.... damn.... all those bugs

Yeah that trillian sounds like a good idea!

I tried Trillian briefly, crashed like every 2 minutes, so i sent it to the bin

google talk is realy very very worth a try!!!!!!!!!!!!

patch msn messenger version 7.5 ... Its nice, and still the only client for msn that supports webcam and voice conversations (and stupid fucking preteen emoticons and winks if you are one of those who needs that).

I didnt like trillian much. Was a bit unstable and i didnt like the GUI. For multi account IM i still prefere Gaim. Works with aim, msn, yahoo, icq, jabber/google talk, etc.

i agree msn messenger 7.5 is pretty good

I've yesterday..... instaled a Windows Live Messenger......much much better then standart msn.....BigSugar instal the WLM to itself too....and I will send you....girls porno pictures....

I was so bored I made a stripped down version of MSN for fun...
