Fast (Non-microsoft) MSN client

edited August 2004 in Software
I have a 90mhz Laptop which I use for AIM and internet (and some old games). AIM runs great, but MSN doesnt want to install. IE5.5 doesnt work either. Opera7 and aMSN are working fine, but aMSN is slow as hell. does anybody know a good MSN client which is fast, and doesnt need IE?

    How do I get rid of MSN from always starting up with windows.
  • Just use MsConfig to disable it.
  • Also disable the service too.

    I need MSN, because MSN is MUCH more popular than AIM and ICQ in the netherlands. I have about 7 AIM buddys, and over 120 MSN contacts.
  • MSN Express is the web version of MSN's messenger
