But I'd still like to update. I googled and autopatcher seems ghetto and didn't work. Anything better out there that anyone knows of?

Really I just want to use msn messenger again. I went back to like version 7.5 but it was still demanding I update on the MS website...

I tried trillian but the interface is not too hot and it doesn't support typing in Korean very well.

Help appreciated.

Download, extract, follow the "read me" to the letter.

Antivir tells me that keyfinder from that link is a virus.

I open it anyway but I can't change the key to any of the 4 I tried, generated from that Keygen. My XP is Pro but not English, it's Korean. Maybe that matters? I don't know much about such things...

I wonder if I could just go from step 3 of that readme and be ok.

Thanks for the link, I hope I can get it to work.

I have used that very download a number of times (on Korean and English systems) without problem. As I said, follow the 'read me'. There is no virus in there, I am sure of that.

First, you must find your old serial, then generate a new one, change them around and then, finally, 'validate' the serial.

Occasionally, the 'validate' step needs to be done a couple of times. I have left it saying "not genuine" before, rebooted and then gone to Windows Update without issue.
