Re: Windows Live Messenger fails to launch

Greetings,

What you're describing is typically caused by a router actually.

Assuming this is the case, reset the router (aka unplug and plug back in) and if that doesn't
resolve it, try seeing if there's a firmware update for the router at the router
manufacturers website.
