Windows Live Messenger has stopped working

Hello, I apologize if this issue has been addressed a million times, but I have tried various ways to fix this problem by reading other posts but to no avail I succeeded. When I was using Windows Live Messenger about half an hour ago, it worked fine. I wasn't downloading and installing anything either. I logged into my inbox, and deleted an email I received from someone. When I logged out of my inbox and signed out of Windows Live Messenger, I immediately tried to sign back in because I forgot to do some changes in my Windows Live Messenger setting; hence, my Windows Live Messenger would begin to show "Windows Live Messenger has stopped working" for no reason. It was working half an hour ago, and then it stopped working seconds later. I tried to "run as administrator"; looked into my download history; uninstalled some really recent things I have downloaded yesterday which was Grease Monkey for my Firefox; repaired Windows Live; and uninstalled and installed. It's frustrating to me not knowing why it worked fine, and then it stopped working as soon as I decided to sign back in. This is mainly the problem here, and I do not know of any other solutions to fix this. Any help is appreciated, and thank you for taking the time to read!

I'm not sure if this solution works for everyone, so here goes the solution. I did a clean installation by following instructions thoroughly through this site. I'm not sure if it will help others, but that's what I did to solve my problem.

I have had this happen to me on both my laptop and desktop yesterday.

I did the clean install, and it sorta worked. Got a msn window up and loged in. on signout it crashed out again.

Full scans, trend, avast, defend, and f-secure rootkit hasn't found diddly..

Anyone got anything else to try? I'd rather ot full reinstall

Thanks

EDIT

Got my msn back, most likely above works, however to ensure it does, make sure you switch your profile picture.

The cause of the initial screw up is the changes to hotmail and a conflict in the registry.
