    So when you click the link for messenger in all programs, does anything happen at all?

    Hi Tete112,

    See what happens when you click directly on the .exe file.

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Messenger\msnmsgr.exe

    Are you receiving any error messages?

    You might try reinstalling Messenger to see if that will fix the problem.

    I had this issue and when I went to check for the .exe there was nothing there. This certainly explained why nothing was happening.

    I had to uninstall, delete the folder and then reinstall. Works fine now.

    Aspirilla,

    LOL, that would definitely explain it.

    Glad to hear you got it working now.
