Fresh install... Vista RC2

[Xtocsea]

First of all. I am new.

Second. I am in need of a key that i can activate my vista RC2 with, as the
one i am running appearnatly has already been used :S

Third, my issues thus far...

It would seem vista RC2 has one major flaw. I can not (regardless of how i
go about trying) aquire the msn messenger file thru my browsers (ie, firefox)
everytime i try a link to msn messenger it auto routes me to the windows live
messenger. WHY? I dont care to use windows live messenger. i want my msn
messenger.

this is a FRESH install. from scratch.

AMD Hammer 2gig cpu
1 gig ddr
just under 400gigs HDD

any suggestions? or should i return to useing my xp corp. ?????

Um, post in a Windows Vista group? This is for Microsoft Office and is off topic here.

1.. Welcome, but you are in the wrong newsgroup

2.. The same key works as did in 5342

3.. Windows Live Messenger is the way to go and is not so different from MSN
Messenger

4.. It has no bearing on any of the above..
