    Do you have XP or Vista?

    Look in CP --> Add/remove --> Windows components

    CCleaner is a program which cleans your registry. You can also use it to remove programs from your computer. It is free and you can download it here.

    I am pretty sure that you cant use an older versions of MSN. I recall trying to install version 6 but it wouldn't let me sign in and told me I had to install the current version to continue.

    CCleaner is the most popular system cleaning software...It really improves performance and can be used by anyone as it has simple GUI
