After installing Vista SP2...no Live Messenger...

So, installed SP2 and now the Windows Live Messenger will not start. All the other apps from Live work, but Messenger refuses.

Anyone else found this?

Yeh! I thought I was the only one with this. Thing is the only thing that I did was install SP2..thats it! I tried a reinstall of the messenger from the live installer, but that just bums out. Ive installed Trillian Astra as a stop gap, until someone/microsoft can give us some kind of fix.

Ok the problem lies with vistas autotuning. Dont mess about uninstalling and reinstalling just click on start-run and type

netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

Thats it, after this messenger should connect.

If you want to reverse this just type.

netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal.

Happy trails.

Hi. Thanks, but it does not seem to work on my system
Ive decided to run Trillian Astra until MS decides it needs to find a solution.
