Windows Messenger Doesn't Start Under SP2

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger (More info?)

I am using Windows Messenger 4.7.3001, and just upgraded 3 days ago to SP2.
Now, instead of Windows Messenger starting when Windows does, it just sits
there untin I start it myself or run Outlook Express, which seems to need to
have it running. Any guesses?? Thank you!!

I upgraded to Windows Messenger to 5.1.0860, but it still won't start when
Windows starts, although it worked fine before my upgrading to SP2 about 4
days ago. Any help appreciated!
