WLM always crashes now by carrielynn on 12-14-2006 at 07:50 PM
Was hoping someone can help me. 
The other night I tried to play Uno with a friend, and WLM crashed trying to load that. Ever since then I can't sign in without it crashing as soon as the list loads. I just can't make that send error report thing stop. I've reinstalled WLM and plus a couple times, but it still does it. I was using 8.0 at the time but now it's 8.1...still not working though. Any ideas? Some registry things I need to remove?

Im pretty sure that's not the case..
Have you tried signing in on different accounts? and what exact builds are you using of WLM/Messenger plus! live.

lol, well most people just tell me to go delete a bunch of stuff.
I just tried it with my old account and it did the same thing. I'm not sure what the exact builds are, I just installed the latest versions of both trying to fix it.

Well if not, send me the links to the sites you are downloading these programs from.
RE: WLM always crashes now by carrielynn on 12-14-2006 at 08:15 PM
lol...wouldn't let me after I signed in...crashed immediately...but I did look at it not signed in.
It says..
Windows Live Messenger Version 8.0 (Build 8.0.0812.00)
Messenger Plus! Live 4.11.0.254
Don't know why I've got 8.0 today and had 8.1 yesterday but anyway.

Do you have any patches/other add-ons installed? This may also cause this problem.

yay!!! 
lol
no I don't...used to have the Messenger Discovery thing that caused the same problem but I was able to remove that completely and it solved the problem that time. The only thing I did this time was try to play Uno.

Is that an official MSN Games game? or was it an added one?
One other thing you may wanna try is when you remove the programs, delete their directory at C:\Program Files\

Have you tried re-installing Messenger Plus Live?
RE: WLM always crashes now by carrielynn on 12-14-2006 at 08:33 PM
yes, tried reinstalling both and it doesn't work. 
It was an official game...never added any before.
ok, I'll try deleting that.
ok, uninstalled both then deleted the directory for Plus. Didn't see a directory for Windows Live anymore. I've reinstalled WLM...no plus...still not working.

Windows Live Messenger is still installed into:
DRIVE:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\
