Additional Comments
I installed MSN Messenger under "Windows 98" (Wine Configuration) because of an error and I use MSN Messenger under "Windows 2000" configuration When MSN crash (when getting the contact list) you simply need to delete IE5 Temporary Internet Files (/hame/YOUR_SESSION/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/YOUR_SESSION/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/Content.IE5/) and to restart MSN :)
