Hi2u,
For those people who still use MSN Messenger 7.5 or any other "old" version and don't want to update it to the latest version of Winblows Live Messenger, try this:
1) Quit your MSN
2) Right-click the MSN Messenger program icon and choose "Properties" (from your Programs Files/MSN Messenger folder)
3) Click the "Compatibility" tab
4) Check option "Run this program in compatibility mode for..." and choose "Windows 2000" in the pop-up below.
There you go, it'll allow you to sign and and continue using it! Only catch is the icon in the system tray is a little funky looking since it's dithered colors, but otherwise it works just like it did before.

But maybe it's better to make a journal about it, more people are online at this hour ;)
