Hi all, Can anyone tell me where, or if, I can get a free version of MSN Explorer that will run properly on Vista Ultimate. Failing that is there anywhere that I can purchase a subscription that is Vista compatible? Thanks, Dave.
here is a link to that relic... do not know if it works... http://explorer.msn.com/install.htm
See your options here: http://join.msn.com/ I am unaware of any free version except if included in a ISP package. I doubt the old free version (7. released Oct. 2001) would install or function properly since it depends on current version of Internet Explorer. Current version MSN is 9.5+. -- mae Explorer anywhere
http://cdorder.msn.com/QueryAccount.aspx Note: Msn Ex is free, the use the software requires a subscription(dial = up or bring your own isp) Thus each type of cd can be ordered. Choose properly. Alternative for Vista, if already a paying msn subscriber or service = already provided by another isp(with an existing email account) Windows Live Mail (beta) Info http://morethanmail.spaces.live.com/ Download http://get.live.com/betas/maildesktop_betas - note installation on Vista will replace all Vista's Windows Mail = shortcuts, if later uninstalled the shortcuts will return ...winston ms-mvp wlmd Explorer=20 anywhere=20
Iirc, version 7 would function on xp and win98(ie6 was installed) and = allow creation of an msn.com address. Unclear today since msn.com free = accounts are no longer available with a few exceptions. Someone posted a few years ago after MSn 8 was released success using a = sub account created by another family member's primary pop3 account but = I don't know if that works today with http msn dial up or partner = created accounts. Though, older legacy pop3 dial up accounts continue to = allow creation of subaccounts with an msn.com address. I only ran = version 7 for a short period of time successfully using an msn.com = account(long since coverted to a premium plus account), thus don't know = if a later autoupdate feature forced a change to version 8(or later) = subscription only version. I would be extremely hesitant about installing Msn 7 on Vista = Ulitmate...too old and too much unknown. ..winston ms-mvp wlmd
