Part of the problem may be that you installed "MSN" Messenger
in place of "Windows" Messenger that came with win2k.  MSN
Messenger is the OLDER protocol.  I'm running Windows Messenger
on WinXP 4.7 and it seems to be the latest (could be mistaken
about it being the latest, but I just ran a windows update on
it the other day...)

Hope this helps...
