by format do you mean clean install of windows?
download and install the older version, see if it has the same problem or not? windows live messenger 2011 the third link on this link : Download Windows Live Messenger 2011 (15.4.3555) - FileHippo.com
Just tried with an older version its still the same...
okay. do you have just the messenger or other features installed too? like live mail, photo viewer etc. ?
I used to have them now i uninstalled everything else and i just installed messenger back but its still not starting on windows start up... :/
please post a snip of your msconfig startup tab. expand the command bar for a full view also expand the location bar (which shows the location of registry)
You could add the program to the Run section of the registry.
