Ok, now I can open messeger 8.5 now, but the menu bar is still on all the windows (including the conversation windows). Is the menu bar usually on conversation windows when you show it?

Yes if the show menu bar option is enabled, it's enabled for both convo and contact list.

Well, upgrading to 8.5 hasn't helped anyway.

"Hide menubar" option is here on WLM 8.5 even if you see it On. Can't you even see it there?



Also you may want to read these threads:

Hide menu bar - not working???

No, that option is not there. (see attachment)
I will read those threads though, thanks.

FIXED IT!!!

Thanks for the help people, what I did in the end was:



Open messenger

Open the magnifier (start > all programs > accessories > accessibility > magnifier)

Close messenger (sign out, close window, right click on icon in system tray and click exit)

Open messenger again

Close messenger (same steps as above)

Close magnifier

Open messenger - menu bar now gone and options to add and remove it!

Some of these steps might not be necessary, possibly only these steps are needed:

Open messenger

Open magnifier

Close messenger

Close magnifier

Open messenger


But, at least its gone now!

Mine's stuck again now

My advice is try what was done before

Yeah i think your fix was a mere co-incidence. As mine's been stuck for days now

Just got it fixed by changing the registry key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\PerPassportSettings\#########\ExpandConvYouMeArea
