    Live Messenger on XP x64/32

    Hey All,

    I never post, but I'm just hoping my Results help others having this issue.

    I'm running AMD Athlon 64x2dual 4200+ on
    Windows XP Professional ver 2002, w Service Pack 2.

    I wound up personally doing a full retreat back from Windows Live Messenger
    8 and going back to MSN 7.

    My Windows Live Messenger 7.5 was working fine for months, but I started
    getting similar errors for 8000378 & 81000378, cannot read contact list, not
    sure if a virus/link caused it, but I removed WLM 7.5 and Installed 8.0.

    After that WML 8.0 would not load, kept crashing about 15 seconds in,
    showing the contact list & x# of emails I had, then it failed and immediately
    closed.

    I followed most of the developer suggestions.
    Most of them did not work because they were for Vista and not XP.

    Using Add/Remove Programs from the Control Panel,
    I UNINSTALLED All Windows Live components (Installer/Live Messenger 8, etc),
    Adobe Flash Player ActiveX, any Java,
    and also Messenger Plus! which was something I use and thought might be an
    issue, but wound up not mattering: Messenger Plus! Live & Sponsor (CiD)
    (I kept my users and script though)


    So from that post by Anand I reinstalled everything : MSN Messenger 7.0.0820
    now available for Windows XP posted by Anand

    REINSTALLED

    MSN Messenger 7.0.0820
    from:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...4-9505f47bed45

    Adobe Flash Version 9,0,115,0 & Active X controllers
    from:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/downl...ShockwaveFlash

    Java
    Java installed (Version 6 Update 3)
    from: http://java.com/en/download/windows_...&host=java.com

    And Messenger Plus!
    NOT EVERYONE USES THIS TOOL: Messenger Plus! 3.63.148
    from: http://www.msgpluslive.net/download/old/



    I hope this helps out a few others, its dissapointed I had to retreat from
    Windows Live Messenger when my 7.5 was working just fine up until all those
    erros kicked in.

    I have no plans to watch for a patch to XP for 8.0 at all, I will avoid
    installing it for a very long time I would say.

    Best of luck to everyone on Vista and different OS',
    but this retreat may be your remedy.

    cheers
