I am having a strange problem with MSN messenger v. 3.5 under OSX 10.2.8.

It seems the application is also the installer. The problem is that every time I invoke MSN, I have to go through the same loops of accepting the license agreement, defining my screen name, search for older versions of MSN messenger, etc. Then it says the installation is complete, but next time, same story.

Has anyone else experienced this problem, and what to do about it??

:confused:

:confused: As always, try repairing your permissions.

Thanks for the answer, it worked! I repaired the permissions with Disk Tool but even though it didn't seem to fix anything pertaining to MSN messenger, the problem is solved!

Thanks again!
