*Messenger Reviver* is a simple tool written to allow users to circumvent the
forced upgrade to Windows Live Messenger. Sometimes older software is better
than the most up to date version. Windows Live Messenger 2011 is a case in
point. When the update was released, many users had *problems connecting* and
using its *Facebook integration*. Unfortunately Microsoft recently forced
users of Windows Live Messenger 2009 to upgrade to continue using the chat
program, leaving many users unhappy. While you can *revert to Windows Live
Messenger 2009* after updating, Messenger Reviver does more by stopping the
program from checking for updates and forcing users to upgrade again.
Messenger Reviver is a simple application. Unzip the .exe and run it. Click
the next button and it'll restart Windows Live Messenger. That's it! You'll
be free of the annoying nag to upgrade to Windows Live Messenger 2012.
Windows XP users should be aware that Messenger Reviver requires *.NET
Framework 2.0* or higher. Other than that, Messenger Reviver is a simple to
use and effective application to stop forced updates of Windows Live
Messenger. *It's a shame that Microsoft still hasn't addressed the problems
in Windows Live Messenger, but Messenger Reviver will help users keep their
stable installs of the older version.*Download *Messenger Reviver 1.2* in
