    Windows Live Messenger Crashes when opened

    I have installed Windows Live Messenger on Vista Ultimate 64bit. it ran
    perfectly the first time, but when i restart or shutdown the computer and
    turn it back on, Windows Live Messenger shows Windows Live Messenger has
    stopped Working box... i tried to uninstall it and reinstall it... nothing
    works.... even deleted the registry after uninstall but it still won't
    work... does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi Roy
    I experienced the same problem except I think I am running Ultimate in 32
    bit. How do I tell if that is true. I don't have a fix yet.
    Help!!

    MIchael, you can see if you are running 64bit ver. or 32bit ver. by right
    clicking computer and going into properties, or Control Panel > System and
    Maintenance > System | and under System Type, (under the Memory (RAM) info)
    it should say either 64-bit Operating System or 32-bit Operating System.

    Hi Michael, If you want to know which system you are running, open the
    cintrol panel, system maintenance, system, It will tell you all you want to
    know about your operating system and memory

    I hope this was helpful for you, Skyzyk

    way to get off-topic guys... i'm having this same problem and would prefer a solution to it rather than talk about how to see what version of windows we are running. For the record, I am running Vista Ultimate 64
