Greetings Ed,

Out of curiosity, do you happen to be using Windowblinds or a custom Windows theme? If so,
try switching back to a default Windows one and seeing if that changes anything.

i was using a custom theme, i removed it but still no luck. I don't understand what is wrong, i have looked around, on the windows live help site for instance, and noone seems to have the same kind of problem?. Ed

I am having this exact same problem. I have tried everything I can think of. I just don't know what to do. I cannot find the Windows Live FIles anywhere to be able to uninstall them. Not only this, but msn opens automatically when I startup my laptop, but if I close it for whatever reason whilst trying to sort out this problem, it does not appear anywhere on my laptop. Not on the start menu, or anything.

This one has got me really stumped.

 

[Porcelain]

I have just found a way around this problem.

I just uninstalled my anti-virus, in this case, F-Secure 2007, and restarted my pc. Once it had been rebooted, Windows Live ran fine.

Hope this helps.

Hope this helps.

But then you don't have a anti virus now. I have the same anti virus as you. Are there any ways to let it through the firewall?

I have 2 computers at home that I run McAfee on, and neither of them has had this issue. My brother also runs McAfee, but his computer came with Norton pre-installed. He had this issue come up until I uninstalled Norton and left his McAfee on there. It works perfectly now. If you haven't found a resolution yet, maybe it's the type of anti-virus you are running that has a compatibility issue with Windows Live.

Greetings Robin,

Any idea which Norton product and version this was?

I tried alot of the suggestions available on different forums but nothing
worked so far.. Kind of annoying that I didnt even want this update..

I think everyone's having this problem, if not, many. My computer is brand-spankin'-new and it was working fine until I installed a screen saver. I've had this one before, but nothing happens until I move my mouse. Once my screen saver disappears, I get the pop-up stating "Windows Live Communications Platform has stopped working." So yeah, It stopped showing up once I put "None" on screen savers. Its still installed, just not on.

I hope someone figures this out. x__x;

 

[Merlinda89]

I have run into the same problem. Can someone help me?? I have 32 bit operating. running symantec antivirus, no custom them either

Windows Live Communications Platform Has Stopped Working

So, I got this error randomly tonight, and I have no idea why. My Windows Live Messenger refuses to work now. If I try opening it, the icon will just keep spinning and spinning for 10 minutes until I finally get an error message.

I looked up the problem details, and this is what I got:

I've never gotten this problem before today. I just got this computer a few months ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
