Well there goes my saying that reinstalling will seldom works
Anyways, it would nice to know what exactly fixed it, as reinstalling is like squashing the ant with a 10 ton hammer.
Registry settings which were reset (but which one)?
Program files which were corrupt or patched (but which one)?
And of which program WLM or msgplus?
We will never know
Anyways, if you encounter this again, first post here again and we'll take you step by step in manually resetting everything so the culprint can be found.
