| | Re: Windows Live Messenger 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 You may be interested in this post from the Windows Live Messenger team: http://messengersays.spaces.live.com...9E!29966.entry 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, just 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 +laine+ lyinghere.com "PA Bear" wrote: Quote: > Forwarded to Windows Live Messenger-specific newsgroup via crosspost: > microsoft.public.windows.live.messenger > > On the web: > http://www.microsoft.com/communities...live.messenger > > In your newsreader: > news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...live.messenger > -- > ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) > MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) > AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net > DTS-L http://dts-l.org/ > > > ExcelConversion wrote: Quote: > > Hey guys... > > I was recently prompted to upgrade my current MSN Messenger from version > > 7.5 to Windows Live Messenger.
