    I'm trying to install it, but it won't let me.

    It downloaded into Mozilla's Downloads folder, but when I click on it to install it, I get this:
    "[file name] is not a valid Win32 application."

    Any help?

    You probably downloaded the 64-bit version, but you have a 32-bit machine. Windows Live Essentials will only work on Vista and Windows 7, so if you're running XP, you should try this version: http://explore.live.com/windows-live-Messenger-XP

    For some reason, it's not letting me click "Download Now".

    That's the problem.
    It won't even let me choose a language.

    Wow, that's wierd. When this thing happen to me I just open the link in a new window, because me and my friends (I don't remember why) think this will bring luck.
    Or, talking more seriously, try to hit the F5 button? Sometimes this works to me, but those things don't happen to me often and normaly is something that still didn't loaded.

    Unfortunately, that isn't working, either.

    Odd, it's not working for me either. Try it in a different browser.

    I tried it on Internet Explorer 8, and it worked.
    I'm not sure why it wasn't working on Mozilla Firefox, though.

    I guess this can be locked now, Misty, but I'll contact you if further problems arise. :)
