I'm getting errors with MSN Messenger. Can anyone help?
I keep getting the error message 8E5E05F6 whenever I try to log on. I've tried system restore and have spent hours wandering around trying to find a way of deleting it and then installing it again but nothing seems to work.

If I go into my Contacts page, I can sign in there but I really want that little box back so that I can see who is online to chat to. Can anyone help?

I have Vista Ultimate.

Yes it is.

I've just looked at that Andy and reckon I'd best wait until tomorrow to try it out as I've had a couple of brandies!

Thanks for the replies x

Re: MSN Messenger
You could try and remove the program by going to Control Panel>Add Remove programs,find Windows messenger and remove it first.Then reboot your computer and download here.
Messenger - Windows Live

Re: MSN Messenger
Try it again tomorrow before you do anything drastic, same happened to me a few weeks ago and morning after it was fine.

Re: MSN Messenger
Thank you Andy and Brown Mouse. I've been trying to get it back for a couple of weeks and it has been driving me mad.

Done it now though...........yippeee!

I had to find the hidden files and delete the Windows Live Contacts folder. Then I signed into Messenger and all was well. Took two minutes in the end and I'm happy again.

Just shows what a couple of glasses of brandy can do.
