XP Pro 64Bit and Windows Live

[g0dd13]

Hello all,
I have a slight problem with my windows live messenger.

So since I don't like the newer versions of Windows Live messenger I still have version 8.1 installed.
(the best in my opinion)

But today I got a message:
There is a newer version available. If you want to proceed, you have to download this newer version. Do you want to do this now?

So the problem is, when I do want to install (because I cannot use MSN otherwise)
I cannot install because Win XP Pro 64 bit is not compatible with the newer versions of windows live ...

So what should I do,
Does anyone know?

Thanks in advance,
g0dd13

I have an older version of MSN live installed on my laptop (xp home sp2) and it works fine... never got that message that I HAVE to install it... it says that there is a newer version available. hmm.

Just use pidgin or some other third party IM client, unless you like the msn messenger layout/interface.

Yea I like the interface of 8.1 so that's why I am still using it.

Here is a screenshot of the error I get (In dutch)
