Messenger's upgrade dissapeared from my mac...every time I try to open
version 4.0 appears and asks for the upgrade download, I download the
new version and instead of opening, Toast titanium opens and asks for
a .bin file and that is as far as I get...over and over ...I can not
get through with the upgrade installation and version 4.0 won;t open.
Help!

Hi Laura,

the latest version which can be downloaded from Mactopia
<http://tinyurl.com/of4bp>, version 6.0.2, comes as a disk image, i.e. there
should be no .bin file whatsoever. .bin files are normally Stuffit archives,
which can be opened using the free Stuffit Expander, which you can find
here: <http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/>
