Re: Can't remove windows live messenger beta

Greetings,

Well instead of uninstalling it, try making sure that the Live Communications Platform is
installed. You can just download and run the following to install it:
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/red...c/contacts.asp

If it says it's already installed, then that's not the problem. You can then use
ZapMessenger to force Messenger to uninstall:
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/redir/zapmessenger.asp

and then reinstall the current release version of Messenger by downloading and running the
following:
