Why is that when I try to open up MSN messenger, it tells me that there is a newer version that I have to download in order to use the program, and when I click on download, it says that it is downloading the program and then all I get is a 'messnger bin' icon on my desktop. Why isn't it working?

Firstly I'd ensure that you have the Mac version of the update.

After downloading a .bin, .sit, .sit.hqx, or .sea.hqx file, you can use StuffIt Expander or another utility to access the file's contents. StuffIt Expander is a free utility for accessing the contents of .bin, .sit, .sit.hqx, and .sea.hqx files.

If after double-clicking on the .bin file, nothing happens ... then you need to download Stuffit Expander to decompress the file for you.

Call me stupid, but have you tried double clicking on the bin file?
