MSN Messenger v7.5

Released August 23, 2005. Introduced an updated Passport credentials system. New features are the Dynamic Backgrounds feature, Voice Clips and the msnim protocol handler, allowing Web sites to provide links which automatically add a contact or start conversations (for example clicking on link msnim:chat?contact=login@passport.net will start chat conversation with user login@passport.net). The Voice Clip feature lets you hold down F2 and record a message for a maximum of 15 seconds and send it to the recipient. The window for conversations changed slightly with a Video button and a different position for the webcam icon (under the display picture). This version runs on Windows XP and later. With the release of version 7.5, MSN Messenger started using Windows Installer for its auto-update feature. When a user selects yes to an update prompt upon sign in, the application will download an MSP file specific to updating that version to the latest and execute in the background. The largest patch thus far is 1.5MB, relatively smaller than downloading the entire MSI installation package.

This version is no longer available for use, as when the user attempts to sign in, they are prompted with a message which forces them to download Windows Live Messenger, as a result of a security vulnerability. However, users who don't want to change to Windows Live Messenger can set the compatibility mode of the msnmsgr.exe file (which can usually be found in C:\Programs\MSN Messenger) to "Windows 2000", and MSN 7.5 can still be used with Windows XP.

This version I hacked for Windows 2000, Fully working, no unwanted software or anything!
