Did you at any time uninstall Windows Messenger? If so, reinstall it: it's necessary on XP machines to enable MSN Messenger to work correctly.

No Windows messenger is still on my computer
RE: Need HELP (installation requirements) by Kryptonate on 01-24-2006 at 02:59 PM
Have you got something installed for MSN Messenger? A patch or addon or so to add extra features to MSN Messenger?
RE: Need HELP (installation requirements) by Ineke on 01-24-2006 at 03:12 PM
No just windows messenger is standaard on my pc and MSN messenger 7.5. No add ons or patch I think

try downloading windows messenger 5.1 directly from microsoft download center...
it's way better than the old 4.7 but lacks the "msn messenger features", like hotmail notification and all that you could download as a "windows messenger addon".
hope this helps you
RE: Need HELP (installation requirements) by RaceProUK on 01-28-2006 at 02:00 PM
Why are you talking about Hotmail Notification as an 'addon'? It's an integrated part of both WIndows Messenger and MSN Messenger, no matter which version.

He is most likely referring to the MSN Add-In for Windows Messenger.

Don't state that it works fine, if you're not using all the features because some will not work fine if you have uninstalled Windows Messenger...

see CookieRevised's reply to I am about to rip my hair out over MS Messanger

Besides, all this API talk and Windows Messenger talk has most likely absolutely nothing to do with the problem.

Can anyone help me?
1) Windows Messenger (in the form of x.x.xxx*)
2) MSN Messenger (in the form of 7.5.xxx*)
3) Messenger Plus! (in the form of x.xx.xxx*)
4) Your Windows version (including which service pack and which language)
5) Are you an administrator when you log in to Windows?
* the x's stand for numbers, the complete version numbers of software can often be found by going to the about box. For Messenger you'll find this in the menu Tools > About.

I installed windows messenger 5.1 but it didn't do the trick.
When I try to install messenger plus, it still says that I need at least windows messenger 4.7
I don't understand what is going on

Windows messenger 4.7 came standerd with my windows XP home edition. and 5.1 I downloaded from the microsoft page on the internet, because some gave me that advise (above)
RE: Need HELP (installation requirements) by RaceProUK on 02-01-2006 at 07:11 PM
So which version is installed?
RE: Need HELP (installation requirements) by Ineke on 02-01-2006 at 08:43 PM
Installed is windows messenger 4.7 and msn messenger 7.5
RE: Need HELP (installation requirements) by CookieRevised on 02-02-2006 at 01:00 PM
1) Remove Windows Messenger 5.x if it was installed (double check the "add/remove programs" configuration panel of Windows ("Software" In Dutch)). You don't need Windows Messenger 5.x if you don't use it for specific reasons.
2) Install Service Pack 2 for Windows XP Home!!!
- You could first try to update Windows to Service Pack 2 by going to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
- If that doesn't work, you can download Serive Pack 2 here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?d...-8245-9e368d3cdb5a
Note that the Service Pack is big (+250MB) and it will take a while to totally update your computer. But updating to Service Pack 2 is absolutely mandatory.
If you are not very good with computers, let someone do this for you. You also need administrative privilegdes to install it.
3) After the Service Pack is installed, reboot and visit Windows Update again and make sure you have all bugfixes and updates: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/. If not, keep on updating further and repeat step 3 until nothing comes up again.
4) Download and install the latest MSN Messenger by going to: http://messenger.msn.com/.
