My niece, after upgrading to 7.0, complained of not being able to sign
onto messenger. After trying some different things I could sign on by
shutting down zone alarm and uping her rights to admin. MSN can only
be used w/admin rights???? What f'n pin head came up with this bright
idea? Is this what we get as a result of American Corp slave labor,
a.k.a: Outsourcing, a.k.a: Dot heads? Or is it just more of the old
adage of: "The day Microsoft develops something that doesn't suck will
be the day that they introduce their line of vacuum cleaners"?

Greetings,

Messenger works fine in Limited User accounts, the problem is ZoneAlarm.

Jonathan is right, MSN Messenger does work with Limited User accounts and
ZoneAlarm is the issue but before you go through the trouble of making it
work you might want to download the latest version of MSN Messenger from
http://g.msn.com/7MEEN_US/EN_0322/INSTALL_MSN_MESSENGER_DL.exe. You may have
to sign in once with your nieces account as an admin and then change it to a
Limited User account.

Let us know if you have anymore issues,
