Re: Windows Live Messenger: Confused

Hello Dave,

in this case you probably deselected Windows Live Messenger during the
installation of Windows Live components. Try installing it again, while
using the following URL:
http://get.live.com/messenger

You can uninstall Windows Messenger by clicking on "Start", "Run...", and
entering the next line:
RunDll32 advpack.dll, LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf, BLC.Remove

Regards,
mynetx
