RE: Windows Live Messenger fails to launch
If you've uninstalled Messenger Plus! Live and you still see that when you start Windows Live Messenger multiple times there are multiple msnmsgr.exe processes running, then it might mean that something has patched your msnmsgr.exe file and/or corrupted it.
Because one of the very first things Messenger will check and do is checking if there is already a Messenger process running. If so, it will not start another process.
So, make sure you don't have any other addons, tools or patches which can tamper with your Messenger program.
Start by manually removing the entire Messenger directory (to make sure any trace of any 3rd party tool is removed). Redownload Messenger from the official site (important!), and reinstall it...
(In the end, when Messenger runs properly again, you will also need to reinstall or repair Messenger Plus! Live since you've removed the Messenger directory manually and thus removed Plus!'s startup DLL doing that)
