hi i just installed WMP onto an existing WLM. n the messenger to sign in and put ur password wont show up. Like its always minimized. n when i right click to sign in, it just loads and loads. i tried uninstalling WMP and WLM. but i can't find WLM in the uninstall list. i'm currently using windows 7 dont know if that effects it.

By WMP do you mean Messenger Plus! Live? WMP usually stands for Windows Media Player, so try not to mix things up.

If you believe you're having problems with Messenger Plus! Live, you can remove it from Control Panel > Programs. Plus! also has an option to 'Repair Messenger', so you may want to try that first.

If you'd like to remove Windows Live Messenger, it's listed as 'Windows Live Essentials'.

ok i tried both ways alrdy. doens't seem to work. But then i went to this link b4 i d/led the messenger plus.

http://www.msgstuff.com/installing-msn-windows-live-messenger-skins/

it told me to change the msgsres.dll to a backup. and when i rmb i did that i went back and changed back to the original name, then my WLM popped back up but it gives me a new error now (error code  8007007E)

Ok. Well firstly the .dll method of installing skins isn't needed since Plus! has a simple and safe way of using skins.

So if you've messed around with .dll files, repairing Messenger will fix that, as it replaces all the files with the originals.

If you've removed Plus! and still having the problem, then this should really be in the Windows Live Messenger support forum.

Regarding the error message, you can try this:

You may be able to quickly solve the problem by installing the following components simply by
downloading the MSI files linked following and just running them to install:
