Hi there,

• Click Start Menu.
• Click on Control Panel.
• Under "Programs" click on "Uninstall a program".
• Find Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable and uninstall it
• Uninstall Windows Live
• Download the Visual C++ 2008 redistributable and the Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Service Pack.
• Reinstall Windows Live Messenger
• Install it.
• Reinstall Microsoft Visual Basic C++ Redistributable 2008 and 2008 (SP1)

Hope this helps,
Captain

Captain Jack,

I searched all day for the solution to this issue. This is the only place that thought of the c++2008.
removed kb KB2533623-have a search-loads of stuff out there.
Removed the 2008 c++
Removed Live essentials
Ran CCleaner
Reboot
Installed live essentials...mail and messenger are back...hooray
reinstall updates and all is still OK!!

I guess you are not surprised?, so many thanks

Cheers


BTW, other laptop is a Vista Business SP2, and no issues with any of the above...a 1st for Vista!!

Cheers again Cap'n...
