I want to download and install the latest windows messenger.I wanted to uninstall the version I have now first(version 4.7) but its not in my add/remove programs list and there is no uninstall from the start menu.If I download and install the newest version will it just replace the one I have automatically? Thank you

If that fails then and only then would I consider use of say REVO UNINSTALLER.
If you need an authoritative answer, you need to call the software's author.

window XP hides some system software like Windows massenger...but you can remove by these steps-
you said that this is not showing in add/remove program.
Navigate to C:'WINDOWS'inf (substituting the correct drive letter for your version of Windows) and open sysoc.inf.
You will see like that -
"msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7"
Change this to the following and Windows Messenger will appear in Add or Remove Programs, then Add/Remove Windows Components, then, and you can remove it for good:
"msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,7"
Now you can remove it by go to the Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel
Thanks
