Can't open Windows Live Messenger by hawkeye619 on 11-15-2009 at 07:35 PM
Hey guys,
Ever since having to upgrade from the standard msn i havent been able to open the program at all. Whenever i try i get an error message saying:
"Windows Live Messenger has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
So i click to see what the error report contains and i get this message:
"AppName: msnmsgr.exe AppVer: 14.0.8089.726 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 021b9610"
Assuming the problem was with 'msnmsgr.exe' i had a go at deleting that but it didnt do anything to help. I havent been able to open this program for a week and have tried countless reinstalls, can anybody help?
Thanks in advance.

Tried a clean install?
Tried system restore?

I may have the answer to your problem as I had it myself. Try right click on your messenger icon, go to properties,go to compatibility. If run for windows 95 ticked, untick it. I f run in 256 colours is ticked, untick it. I did this and now I have messenger running again. I hope this helps you.Best wishes Andy.
