| | Messenger wont load after installing windows updates I just did a clean install of Vista Business and installed WLM 8.5. It all worked fine as it should, until I installed the very first windows updates (40 of them) and restarted the computer. Now messenger wont load. It appears in the running processes in the task manager but now does not show the actual window or systray icon so I can log in. If I hibernate the computer however, WLM successfully loads up and can be used as normal when coming back out of hibernation. Restarting the computer presents the same problem again. Whats going on and how can I fix this? Thanks! |

| | Re: Messenger wont load after installing windows updates Greetings Simon, What you're describing is generally a problem with Messenger and a router on your local network. Assuming you do have a router, you may need to either reset it (unplug it and plug back in) and/or upgrading its firmware to the latest version from the router manufacturer. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Simon" <Simon@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:1750057C-FF42-429B-853E-EBA5EFBADCB9@xxxxxx Quote: > I just did a clean install of Vista Business and installed WLM 8.5.
