  • 1. Problem with WindowsMessenger
    Hi, My Windows Messenger has become corrupted - whenever it runs, I get the "Send error report to Microsoft" dialogue box. This wasn't a problem as I just disabled it via Add Remove Windows Components but recently, I installed Patch KB815495 for MSDE 2000 SP3a. (I don't have SQL Server installed - only the Desktop engine for use with Visual Studio 2003.) This Patch must use some aspect of Windows Messenger as I get the error when ever I boot up. This did not happen before I installed the above patch. The specific error quotes the faulting application as msmsgs. A .dll is also mentioned but I cannot remember the actual one. I disabled a number of services to squeeze some more performance out of my system, maybe I disabled one too many? I have MSN messenger 6.2 installed and there is no problem with this. I have Windows Messenger 4.7.2009 installed. I tried updating to the latest version, but this only made things worse. Is there any way that I can fix Windows Messenger? Any help gratefully received. -- BadHead :) --- OS: Windows XPPro SP1 CPU: AMD 2500+ RAM: 1024MB PCI3200 MB: Gigabyte GA-7V600T 1394 GRAPHICS: ATI9800 PRO

  • 3. Windows Messenger..sorry its a little long.
    I have recently recovered my pc due to a trojan that got on to my pc somehow even though I had an up to date firewall and antivirus package. As I was trying to get all the microsoft updates again, I managed to land myself with blasterworm, which i managed to get rid of. Anyway, just to get to the point, I sorted my pc and decided I wanted to use windows messenger, I already have a msn account and was able to use windows messenger and msn before this happend. A question popped saying that before I would be able to use it I would need to update it so I clicked yes and another box came up with the do you want to install and run blah blah blah (i cant remember exactly what it said), I do know that it said it was from Microsoft.com so I trusted this and ran it, afterwards my computer went crazy for about three seconds. It then asked me to restart but i didnt, I had a feeling something was wrong so I scanned, id picked up sasser worm. Anyhow, im now rid of this but I still cant use messenger, everytime I try to get on this I get asked for the update and its just not happening. I went directly to microsoft.com website and got a windows messenger update directly from there and then all of a sudden my documents were opening on their own...again, did a scan but nothing this time. Could someone help me please? Ive ran every scan possible.

Messnger update will not install

Messnger update will not install.  Gives error 
message "path not found ...." but when I observe it 
attempting install, it creates the path and files 
referred to in the error message.  Any suggestions.  I've 
tried both Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger through a 
number of different sites and methods.

1.Remote Assistance says Messnger is not installed - but it is

Hi

Help & Support on the Compaq Presario is a different 
layout from "normal" XP but it seems to work except that 
it insists that Messenger is not installed when I try to 
send an invitation for remote assistance.  Messenger is 
installed (now latest 6.1) and works just fine.

has anyone encountered this - and got a solution ?

regards
