Thats funny, i have had exactly the same problem on my laptop O_o
I just can't remember how i fixed it
Ill let you know if i remember but you shouldn't count on that realy

Have you tried a complete un-install of both Windows Live Messenger and Messenger Plus! Live, then re-installing both?

yes i have. again numerous times hehe

In case you have Messenger starting up when you boot your computer, thus when Windows loads, try to disable that option in Messenger: Options > Signing in > Start WLM when you login to Windows.

Then uninstall plus, tick it off, and then re-install?

My advice is to uninstall both software, use something like ccleaner or norton utilities to clean your registry keys and then re-install both.

i dont have it starting when windows starts and if it didnt work when i first got the computer im wondering how cleaning the registry would work if i havent really done any changes to it.

if you're reffering to the fact that a brand new pc comes clean, you might be totally mistaken, most of them come with a lot of pre-loaded software that can interact and cause problem with other software (take the google bar on toshiba laptop by example).

What we're suggesting is basically to help you out, it is the steps that we would each take in your situation. Clearing the registry and re-installing the latest version is the first thing I'd do, then I'd verify the task manager to see if it's running (the fact that you don't see it doesn't mean it's not running).

what happened was my hard drive got defective so i sent it to acer and got a new one put in but i lost everything on there but wlm and msg plus was working on there before the drive went bad. so when i got the new drive i deleted the same pre installed stuff i deleted the first time and wlm was the first thing i wanted to install which worked then wen i downloaded plus thats when it didnt work. i had checked the task manager and it showed wlm was rinning. i'll try doing the registry thing and let u kno what happens
