Try this:
A lot of people seem to say the Redistributable package mentioned above solved their problem.
That post, and thus package link is old.
If you want to install the "
Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)", you should instead install the updated SP1:
Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) - Service Pack 1
Second, that package is for 32-bit systems, not 64-bit systems.
The 64-bit system version can be downloaded here:
Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x64) - Service Pack 1
PS: Chris4, your source link is wrong, it points to the reply post page.

Please remove the installed package, it is not for 64-bit systems, and it is a buggy version. Instead use the links I gave above.
Also remember to re-download and re-install the latest version of
Windows Live Messenger, this is very important.
