Reinstall MSN Messenger:

Run the installer again and choose "repair".

If that doesn't work do a fresh install of MSNM:
1. uninstall
2. reboot
3. remove C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger
( this last folder holds all previous settings, emoticons, backgrounds, winks..you can try a reinstall without deleting that one first if you don't want to loose those)
4. reinstall MSN Messenger

Yes, run the installer. It will give you the option to uninstall or repair.

RE: problems with the options menu
If you use Stuffplug NG (the latest beta) and have the "Custom Tabs" enabled, then this is a known bug. Just disable this feature and the options screen should work as normal.
