Reinstall MSN Messenger:
Run the installer again and choose "repair".
If that doesn't work do a fresh install of MSNM:
1. uninstall
2. reboot
3. remove C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger
( this last folder holds all previous settings, emoticons, backgrounds, winks..you can try a reinstall without deleting that one first if you don't want to loose those)
4. reinstall MSN Messenger

If you use Stuffplug NG (the latest beta) and have the "Custom Tabs" enabled, then this is a known bug. Just disable this feature and the options screen should work as normal.

Disable StuffPlug NG from the Plus! plugins menu, and restart MSN Messenger
This is a known bug with StuffPlug NG...

Honestly, you don't even have to disable Stuffplug. All you need to do is turn off the "Custom Tabs" option. Once that is done, you can reopen the options menu and select things normally. I had to play around with it for a while before I realized that was what was going on. Good luck and happy messaging!
