This problem is driving me round the bend. Google failed me and so I thought I'd revisit a (very) old haunt to find some real answers.
I'm trying to download Windows Live Messenger because all my hip friends on the interwebs say that they're using lots of pretty colours and sounds and it makes me jealous. =/
I use Firefox 3 for my general browsing, but have Internet Explorer as a backup in case anything isn't compatible. I've tried downloading the program in both, and while this page loads properly, when I click on 'Download', the next page (image 1) either only displays for barely a second before redirecting to an error page (image 2).

Believing this to be probably just an incompatibilty with Firefox I tried the same site on my barely-used Internet Explorer browser, only to be greeted with the same symptoms; a brief display of the aformentioned screen, followed by a general 'Could not display' message from IE:

So, I'm stumped. Any light shed on the situation would be greatly appreciated and quite possibly rewarded with virtual cookies.
