i dont understand any of step three, do any of u who know how to do it, including you, have aim contacts or msn messenger contacts?

You will need telnet or ssh access to do this. See this post for further instructions:

If your database is before you upgraded to vB3 (i.e. a 2.X database), you will have to run the upgrade script again.
