Oh, I've also just determined that, while I can't sign in to my own Windows Live Messenger account on the Administrator's account (the one I use all the time), I can sign in to a newly created WLM account. Also, if I try signing on to my regular WLM while on the guest account, I can do so without a problem.

Please, help me!

Might be a bit late but i had the same problem and i fixed it by uninstalling msn then:

Delete the file: C: \ Program Files \ Windows Live \ Contacts \ wldlog.dll


then reinstall msn and try again ..good luck

My Windows Live messenger is still unable to work and this is the message its
show me:
"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

Also other people can sign in using their accounts in my PC but not me. I'm
automatically signed in and my password is saved on the WLM.

I have VISTA Home Premium and my windows live messenger was working just fine until I was forced to take this stupid update that screws it right up! Obviously I am not the only one!! I tried this useless update twice prior to this as well and had the same results with the program refusing to start! Surely with so many people having this same or similar problem they will fix the issue!! I have all of my contacts and emails in there and I need to get at them. They obviously knew of this problem prior to this forced update and have not made a fix for it yet - This Really Sucks!

Messenger Support Space - Windows Live My problem was with the Nvidia file and when I ended that Process I was able to sign into messenger with this latest forced upgrade with no problem at all!! No More - Windows Live Communications Platform has stopped Working and will now close and look for a solution!! Hope this Helps Everybody Out because this is a very annoying problem especially if you use your email everyday.
