The only other solution that I can suggest is for you to try and edit your manifest with Resource Tuner:

1.) A simple Google search will yield Resource Tuner, and, after installing, the msnmsgr.exe file is opened with Resource Tuner.
2.) The manifest option is expanded in the left pane to show the manifest for msnmsgr.exe as "1".
3.) Click on this manifest and then press "Ctrl+Shift+E" to open the manifest editor.
4.) At this point, all I did was isolate the code in the manifest that pointed to version 9.0.30729.1 and changed it to 9.0.30729.4148.

ie:
<dependentAssembly>
            <assemblyIdentity
                type="win32"
                name="Microsoft.VC90.CRT"
                version="9.0.30729.4148"
                processorArchitecture="x86"
                publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"
            />
        </dependentAssembly>


BE SURE TO BACK UP YOUR msnmsgr.exe FILE BEFORE EDITING!

I've done this but when I tried to save it I got this error:

  I tried the steps of uninstall  Visual C++ 2008 redistributable and the Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Service Pack and win live msg and the re-install them all again but nothing new still the problem exists 

My  event with ID 78  have the following wording:
"Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\msnmsgr.exe". Error in manifest or policy file "" on line. A component version required by the application conflicts with another component version already active. Conflicting components
are: <HERE IS WHERE THE COMPONENTS ARE LISTED>"


What to do??

Does anyone know if Microsoft have a fix for this yet? I've had a few Microsoft updates over the past few days but nothing has fixed this problem yet.

This is so frustrating!

I understand what you say with Sys Restore but I've had this prob for about 2 weeks+ now and don't really want to lose 2 weeks of data just because Microsoft can't be bothered to fix this problem.  I'm using an alternative messenger until they decide to bring out a fix for this problem.

I see.
Sorry to hear that.I'm really wandering why microsoft doesn't post any reply to help in solving the problem!!!!
Did u tried all the steps posted?

What's your ID problem ?
Is it 33 or 78?

Again I hope to see a reply from microsoft soon

I tried everything posted here but with no success.

My ID Prob is 78.

Does this problem only seem to be with VISTA or do people running XP & 7 have the problem too?

I'm running Vista Home Premium.

That was my problem ID too and also I'm running win. vista home premium.

Please anyone can answer this issue don't hesitate to contact.

There seems to be no easy fix for this yet... the best advice I could give at this point is to do a complete format of the hard drive, reinstall your (functional) version of Windows, let it update completely and install Windows Live Messenger afterwards.

A format of the Hard drive [i]every so often[/ip] isn't a very bad thing to do.. I can understand it's annoying for some users though.

Okay I am having the same issue. I am running Windows Vista I did try uninstalling Micorsoft Visual C++ and Messenger and then reinstalling. I still get the same message. I have opened up my Event Viewer and this is the information it tells me.
