whats that



how is that possible???

Repair messenger, looks like the icon is generates by Windows, and not messenger itself.

what does that mean? repair messenger... since i had 8.0beta installed i have tons of problems... first no sounds in 7.5 now the icon from 8.0 in 7.5????

i thought u had wlm and u had 7.5 about window

otherwise repair as absorbtion said

repair as in go to add/remove programs, click change on msn messenger and choose repair

ok ill try i hope it works... looks ridiculous... 7.5 with 8.0 icons

EDIT: damn im pissed off really hard, repaired but still same... i give it up and wait for 8.0...

It is a beta

Obviously got mixed up somehow. It's only an icon

yeah its what i thought too... a simple icon so i dont give a f*** about it... and when WLM is released it will be stndard

If you want this to stop happening in the future, what you need to do is:


when installing a updated version, you must not overwrite.

What you must do is uninstall the previous version before installing. Therefor it leaves no chance for a file copying error like we see here.

If you have already installed the new version, and are having gui problems: A repair would be a good solution

i repaired it but its still like it was... but thx

Try deleting the C:\Documents and Settings\<u/n>\Local Settings\Application Data\IconCache.db file.

It's marked as hidden and possibly system, so you'll need to show hidden files to be able to delete it. Oh, and it's probably a good idea to do it with MSN closed.

Uninstall Windows Live Messenger/MSN Messenger then go to C:\Program Files\ and delete the MSN Messenger folder.

Restart your computer, then re-download the version that you want to use and install it again.
