This happened to me too... Edit the shortcut/reg entry so it points to msnmsgr.exe directly with no switches after or anything

RE: repairing messenger on start up

Start > Run > Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Run

If you see an MSNMSGR value in there double click it and make sure it says only this and nothing else:

"C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe"

Then go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Run

and delete any MSNMSGR entries in there

Close regedit, and restart
