How do I install and earlier version of Windows Live Messenger on my new Windows 7 laptop? I cannot find the existing program uninstaller? Control Panel in this version of Windows is less than helpful.
The existing version of Windows Live Messenger is too busy and full of ads. I only want a simple version that is not so distracting and frustrating.

I can't open windows live messenger in this computer, error code 80070057, what is that?
After about 5 minutes of use windows live messenger freezes. I can't even close the windows. I also noticed that in the task manager the memory for messenger spikes up. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it still has a problem. It was working fine
yesterday, then today it just stopped. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
I have 2 computers - one Windows 7 and one running Vista. This morning (9/26/2012) after an Auomatic Critical Update for Windows, both computers ran fine until I opened Windows Live Messenger. When WLM opened virtually all computer resources are taken up by the program on both computers (confirmed through Task Manager - Resources).
I ran two different virus programs and a spyware program with no issues reported. I performed a System Restore on the Windows 7 computer but it had no effect.
I can access my email with no problems through Hotmail.
Any ideas what is going on?
I've rebooted twice. After the Messenger window comes up, the AT&T stay connected ad starts to load at the bottom of the window and then the Messenger window freezes. Checking the Resource Monitor, it then proceeds to eat about 1MB a second from then on, suggesting a serious leak in the inline HTML advertisement.
In the time it took to write this post, Messenger has consumed an extra 50MB of memory, - it's now 'using' 460MB and rising.
I am running Windows Live Messenger 2012 on Windows 7 Pro on a Core i5 2.5 Ghz w/ 8 GB RAM.
Up until today, I've had no problems with WLM. This morning when I log in, I notice that my CPU is spinning up and that WLM is not responding to any clicks or commands. When I open Task Manager, I saw that WLM was using 33% + of my CPU and at that time was over 800MB of memory usage. I ended the process and restarted WLM. I noticed that for about 3 seconds, I could click within the program and it would respond. However, very quickly it again became unresponsive. I checked Task Manager again, and saw that again the CPU is spinning around 33% and that the memory usage is climbing at about 5MB a second.
Can anybody assist with this?
Myself and colleagues having issues with Windows Live Messenger this morning where it's using up all CPU processing and memory and then locking up so it can not be shut down except with Task Manager. Is this something Microsoft is aware of and resolving?
Thank you in advance.
