I have the same problem. I have a fleet of PC's and if
you install SP2 before you install MSN messenger 6.2 it
fails as you describe. If you install MSN messenger
before SP2, MSN will auto repair itself after SP2 has
been installed. I believe it has something to do with MSN
6.2 needing to use localhost for a Socks4 proxy when XP
SP2 has been applied. Turning on Socks 4 proxy does
nothing. Strange!
Cheers,
Glenn
