Hi all,

I have a machine (XP SP2) that I can run MSN Messenger 7.0 without trouble.
However, when I can't run Windows Messenger on this machine, even when I
shutdown MSN Messenger completely. I have even tried to uninstalled MSN
Messenger to no avail.

I have tried Windows Messenger 4.7 and 5.1. Same thing. Nothing crash. It
just does not run. I managed to monitor it with FileMon and saw it started.
Then suddenly it decides to close down 'gracefully'.

Any idea how I could tackle this?

Thanks.

Bob
