MSN Live just stopped working-HELP by shelm63 on 04-05-2007 at 08:55 AM
I have been using msn live for months now and its been great.. then yesterday I clicked to open it and nothing came up when i looked in task manager it shows msnmmsgr.exe under processes yet messenger never pops up.. uninstalled it.. cleared all of my cache .. ran windowwasher.. checked to make sure i didnt have anything like sweetim or smiley central.. ran antispyware programs then went to msn live site and redownoladed it and reinstalled it and same thing is happeneing.. I did a restore point in xp to bring me back 3 days ago when it was working fine but that didnt help either.. and I miss it ... using the old windows messenger sucks. any ideas??
thanks
Shel

check you have msimg32.dll in your C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger folder, and check you installed the latest version.

The MSIMG32.dll is hidden in the "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger" so you will need to enable the option to show hidden files, are you sure you got that option enabled?
I will attach MSIMG32.dll to this post. You can download it and put it in your "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger" folder.
If that still doesn't work, I suggest you to download and install the newest version of WLM, 8.1. I think you can download it here:

I wasn't allowed to upload the DLL. 
So here is Rapidshare mirror: http://rapidshare.com/files/24428170/msimg32.dll.html
I know rapidshare is slow, but it works. 
Have a nice day yourself,

Yes PE files isn't allowed,but you can zip and upload them...

There is a reason why you shouldn't allow PE files. Then you shouldn't zip them either.

Yes there is a reason why you can't upload PE files(Security reason)...But there isn't reasons why you shouldn't zip and upload them...

To upload a PE file is the same to upload a ZIP with a PE file inside.

Eheh...No it's not the same...Uploading pe files could be dangerous,But zipping and unploading them is secure:
You can't upload pe files because of the potential security risks of msghelp.Such files can contain virii and other malicious software.Instead if you upload zipped pe files it's secure,because a zip/rar file can't be executed on the server thus is much less of a risk to msghelp.

msimg32.dll isn't a hidden file and I've verified it on all 3 of my XP machines with different configurations. 2 without showing hidden files and one (my computer) that does...and on all of them, it's not a hidden files (checked file attributes)

You're right, I'm sorry. I think it used to be. Anyway, that could be a reason why he couldn't see it.
Thanks for pointing that out!
