How do i install the new Windows Live Messenger onto my Windows 2000 laptop?

Q. My laptop runs windows 2000 and every time i try installing Windows Live Messenger an error message pops up saying that the installation software is not a valid win 32 file

A. The latest version of Live Messenger is not supported on 2000. You must have XP SP2 or newer.

If you can't find an older version of Messenger that works on 2000, you may be able to find a third party messenger client, such as Pidgin or Trillian that will work. Note that third party clients do not always support all of the features that the official clients do. They also will require updates if the protocol changes.
