I'm not sure whats the problem but I think it might be since it was meant to be for kids I can't download it BUT I can download Skype. Is there anyway I can solve this I really want to go on MSN :L

You could fownload a different client like pidgeon?

[Firehorse]

try finding a version where you do a direct browser download

I think this is one, haven't tried it though http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C575A6C6-C8DC-45E1-9E97-E0A437A5B770&displaylang=en

Looks like it could be a framework problem, you could try windows update or installing the .NET framework (I'm a Mac user so not 100% on this..)

Or as Blinger mentioned, you could try a different client, which will probably work.

http://meebo.com/ - An online client if you're desperate to get on.
http://mercury.im/ - A nice multi-OS client with lots of features, can be sluggish though.
http://www.pidgin.im/ - Haven't used this personally, but it's apparently pretty good.

Go get the .NET Framework 3.5 package, stop using Bearshare (it's crap) and remove all the preinstalled programs you don't need.

Off topic but how are you going to give 5 reps? You only have 2 rep power.

Just spoke to Richie about the +5rep ;]

Yeah ikr Beashare is just **** my mum insists on it though ;l
