i tried to start win messenger a couple of days ago and was told i had to
upgrade before i could sign in. i followed the prompts to install the update
and now cannot even access the program to try to sign in. the messenger icon
is still visible and when i double-click on it, my computer acts like it's
going to respond, but it doesn't. if anyone else has experienced this
problem and solved it, i'd like to know how you did it.

thanks.

I have the same problem, only i recieved a file via messenger that has done
something to my pc.The person i was talking to at the time, didnt even send
me the file. I cant even sign into messenger now as my password has changed
and i cant get it back by any means. I even had the most recent messenger,
Beta. This was supposed to have the latest security on it. Obviously it didnt.
