Hi, I use msn messenger live at work with no problems however have tried to download it at home and all I get is error message "The application failed to initiialize properly (0xc0000005)"

Any ideas how to resolove this?

I have XP and SP2 installed (I think, tho can't remember how to check!)

Any help greatly appreciated !!

Let me guess, you're using a Sony Vaio or some other Sony product (say a Sony MP3 player)?

If so, go to Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel and remove the SonicStage Mastering Studio Audio Filter.  If that's not there, try uninstalling any other SonicStage branded software.

After that, restart and try Messenger again.

Fab, thank you.  Got rid of the Sonicstage filter and works perfectly. 

Thanks for the speedy advice!!
