MSN Messenger replacement
MSN Messenger replacement
I have a friend whose MSN Messenger has gone haywire. Now he wants to put a chat messenger (compatible with MSN Messenger) on his USB stick (MSN Messenger not being portable). Any ideas? TIA!

You could use version 7.5.xxx
It will run on different computers without needing to be installed. It does leave some registry items, but the items won't open any un-needed privacy.
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/MSNMessenger
Also, everything will work fine, video and audio.
Run A-Patch on it too if you like.

Thanks for your tip, Rykenden.
Yeah, A-Patch - http://apatch.org/ - rules!

As replacement for the MSN messenger I can highly recommend GaimPortable (soon to be Pidgin or so), which you can find here: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/gaim_portable
Runs very reliably from my stick, and imho nicer than Mirinda (just a matter of taste).

Another tiny solution is PixaMSN. Tiny and simple:

It's smaller, faster and as portable as the "portable" one.

if you prefer the full functionality of MSN, there's a thinstalled version of MSN floating around... this makes MSN totally portable.
or google "msn portable" and you should find plenty of options.

FYI, i use miranda myself!
pixamsn is good as well if you just need basic messaging capability and the filesize doesn't hurt!
