this is the error: msn messenger has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience.

ok i've tried everything to make msn work and its not helping..... i had msn 6, msn discovery and plus thats about.. i tried removing msn discovery and plus and msn 6 via uninstalation then installing just msn 6 and it doesnt work... although i have a work around to get it to work its still annoying......

heres the work around:  login to my brand new acct with no contacts then relogging to my main acct.... when i relogin using my main acct i notice that the bar on the left side is gone... perhaps that is the cause?

i don't have any viruses or spyware i believe..... i use adaware pro and norton 2k5 so no problems there..... also i had just recently reformated..... i've used msn discovery and plus together with no problems in the past.....

i need help either someone teaching me how to do a really clean uninstallation... (all registery gone) or someone who has experience to help me fix the problem...... thanks so much in advanceD!!!!!!!

Try getting the messenger 7 beta from microsofts site and see if that fixes your problem.
http://messenger.msn.com/beta

Also try uninstalling messenger, going to the messenger folder (Normally c:\program files\msn messenger) and deleting all the files there, then re-installing messenger.

Reformatting is enough to clear the Registry if you formatted the Windows drive. Other than that, all I can recommend is using Windows Update, installing all available updates.
