Hi there,

  • Download the Visual C++ 2008 redistributable and the Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Service Pack.
  • Reinstall Windows Live Messenger
  • Install it.

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 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...
