Hi, I had this phone for a while now and have been talking to my relatives abroad for a while now. however, couple of days ago after I installed Windows 7 I started getting a weird error message. I hope someone can help me out here.

Her's what the problem is, whenever I try to call someone I get this message: "Not signed in to Windows Live Messenger" on the little screen of the PHILIPS phone, however I can see exactly who is online and offline, but I can't connect the call.

OS: Windows 7 Pro Upgrade.
Live Messenger: Version 2009 (Build 14.0.8089.726)
Fresh batteries charged to full.

Thank you.

That's what I thought myself, but I am hoping there might be a different problem.

I just remembered, there was some sort of an upgrade issue with Live Messenger while the initial install, I had to restart and than it was suddenly fixed. I'm gonna re-install Live Messenger to be on a safe side, though I can't figure out how to un-install it first, can't do it through the Control Panel and the installer doesn't have an un-install option, any suggestions?

In order to remove Windows Live Messenger you must remove "Windows Live Essentials" from the Programs & Features menu

That's the thing "Windows Live Essentials" is not in the Programs & Features menu, so I can't remove it that way.

What happens if you run the installer again?  Does it tell you that the Messenger component is installed?

Can you do a system restore to before you installed Windows Live Messenger?

Yea, it tells me that the Messenger is installed. And I can't do the System Restore because apart from AntyVirus Live Messenger was the first thing I installed after System Upgrade.

Try using ZapMessenger to remove Messenger and then re-install it
