Just a note. That would only be if he had made a restore point before...unfortunately I can't see it cleaning up bugs from personal experience I haven't got very good results with it...disk images are far better...but I doubt there is one

Agreed, kinda silly of me to assume he made a restorepoint (maybe its cuz i always do before installing anything...happend several times that i just didnt like the change and had to go back further then necessary with systemrestore resulting in havin to reinstall several other programs too) an nope it wont clean up bugs (maybe the ones gotten after that point but im not too sure bout that either..in this case it mite work) it just puts it back to what it was before.. making a diskimage is a good idea but have u found a program that makes an accurate image of the OS including hidden settings? I got several programs that make diskimages but i dont think it does the OS correctly (and to be frank i'm too scared to try it cuz if it gets buggered up it means reformating an installing everything from scratch wich takes ages )

Official release isn't out is it?

they withdrew msn 6.2 on Thursday because of the bugs that were found and they would release it again when it these bugs were solved so it's normal you don't see anything changed. But it is strange they didn't gave it another buildnumber.

OK, now I get it working...
What I did was so "violent":

1. Uninstall MSN Messenger.
   
2. If there is msiexec.exe left in your process (I don't know why but Windows X's installer seems not to exit properly), kill it.
   
3. Locate HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSNMessenger and delete the whole subkey
   
4. Locate HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger, as well delete the whole subkey
   
5. Locate Application Data\Microsoft, and delete the whole MSN Messenger directory.
   
6. Install and sign in.

Yep that means all your Messenger settings, including Display Pictures, Backgrounds, Custom Emoticons...etc WILL VANISH.

I bet that not every of the steps above is necessary but you may just try it...
