Vista Tutorial - Live messenger crash faulting module msvcr80.dll

I get this Live messenger crash, faulting module msvcr80.dll. I tried to
remove all programs (adobee flash, MS V studio 2005 express)
I can log in and send messages but when I RIGHT CLICK on a contact in
contact list it always crashes with this error. I tried many verisons of MSN,
live messenger. I have several versions of MSVCR80.DLL installed

msnmsgr.exe, version 8.1.178.0, faulting module MSVCR80.dll, version
8.0.50727.762, time stamp 0x45712238, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset
0x000171cb

Please help.

I had this problem. I did not find the cause, but I find a work around.


At the begin of Vista usage it works. Then, I suppoused the problem was
from some installed program. If you do not start messeger with windows
and wait boot to complete and then start messenger, it works.
Then I beleave it need some module pre-loaded and this module was not
loaded when I set it to start with Windows now. Probabily due increased
number of programs starting with windows, making initial load slow.
If you say that starting by hand is not a good solution, there are some
utility to delay start - see one at www.r2.com..au - to do that.
It make messeger to work and make boot more usable. Longer, but the
machine became usable quickly due enqueeing of startup keep resource
free to you start using.

All you had to do was open Windows Live Messenger> Tools> Options>General>
set it not to start at Startup, by unticking those options!

And if it WLM crashing at Startup, you have something else wrong with your
computer!

You are just another time waster, that lurks here.

You get capitals, as well as exclamation!
You go to the top of the class(****ers class, that is!).
