Sorry to break this to you, but 128 MB of RAM is waaaay too little for Windows 2000 nowadays. Add another 64 or 128 MB and install MSN messenger 5 without any woried. You can always remove it from the registry from Autoload on startup (using msconfig, youhave to search for msconfig though, it's not included with windows 2000).
