Vista - Vista SP2 has borked my Live Messenger

Hi,

So oddly I was only just made aware of the Vista SP2 download for X64
systems like yesterday and ever since I installed it my Live Messenger won't
work. Sign's in, goes to the little blue circle and crashes.

A quick cursory Google yields numerous pages of identical issues following
the SP2 download. Most seem to be unhelpful ramblings and a lot suggest
reinstalling Live Messenger. I did that, and I also went through the repair
process under the Control Panel but no luck.

What does everyone recommend?

Thanks.

Greetings,

Removing the Windows Live Contacts cache can sometimes fix the symptoms you're experiencing.

To do this, press the Windows key and R on the keyboard to bring up the Run box, then enter:
%userprofile%\appdata\local\microsoft
and click OK.

Scroll down and delete the Windows Live Contacts folder. Then try Messenger again.
