Moved to Windows Live Forum

What version of Live Messenger do you have installed?

Please do not PM me to ask for support - please use the relevant thread or forum.

Re: Windows Live Messenger

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

Re: Windows Live Messenger

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.

Re: Windows Live Messenger

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.
