Problems installing msn messenger

Everytime i download msn messenger 7.0 i have the same problem installing it. I select the install icon and i get so far then about half way through the installation my computer decideds to restart. I have tried installing it about 30 times now and its extremly frustrating please help. Does it have anything to do with wextract, and if so how can i remove it?

What operating system, are you using!

Im on windows Me

AAAAH help me! with this!

have you checked Msn Forums? although it sounds like a problem that will only be solved by a repair of windows.

Did 6.0 work? if so use that. 7.0 has nothing perticularly great

When it restarts, do you see a blue screen for a split second before it restarts?

Wextract cleanup is a valid Windows process used for cleaning up files created by installers. It will run once on boot after a program installation.

Does your system meet the minimum requirements?

   * Multimedia PC
   * Pentium 233-MHz processor or better (500MHz recommended)
   * Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Millennium, or Windows XP operating system
   * Minimum 64MB of RAM (128MB recommended)
   * Up to 50MB of hard disk space needed to install — after install, up to 15MB may be needed
   * 256-color VGA or higher resolution graphics card (SVGA recommended)
   * Minimum 800x600 screen resolution
   * Microsoft® Internet Explorer version 6 SP1 or later must be installed on your computer, though it does not need to be your default browser

Just a thought.

I dont even get a blue screen. It just shuts down and restarts. I cant actually install anything at the mo not just messenger.

Run a virus scan... Sounds like a virus possibly...

MMM yes. it does sound like a virus. try that, if it does not work then just use www.iloveim.com its a web based messenger... Also i would say stay away from MSN Messenger 7 as it has problems sending files.
