| | Dead Link to "Start Messenger" after WLM install in vista 64 ultim Basically the install went fine, or so it says. There's a blue underlined link saying "Start Messenger" but when I click it, nothing happens, including having taskman opened next to it, to see if any processes sprout up. This is a fresh install, and I am quite confused. Also, the actual msn live ..exe is no where to be found. I'm guessing the install was faulty... But every time I run it, it rechecks and says it's fine? |
