Ok, this is all I can come up with. Try the following, sorry for all the trouble.

Uninstall
Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
Remove Windows Live Messenger
Remove Messenger Plus! Live

Registry
Start > Run > type regedit
Delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger [image]
Delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou [image]

Folders
Delete C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\
Delete C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\
Delete C:\Documents and Settings\[USER]\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger

Temporary Internet Files
Internet Explorer [Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files]
Mozilla Firefox [Tools > Options > Privacy > Cache > Clear Cache Now]

Download and Install
Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0792.00
Messenger Plus! Live 4.00.235

I did all of that, and still it doesn't work.

I mean, I am using the french version of messenger live and plus! live...
