Your problem is very confusing. Please list the programs that are missing
and list the programs that are still available.

Heres a link to reinstall Internet Explorer:

Heres a link to Windows Messenger:

Also try using System Restore to restore to earlier point to recover MSN
Explorer. Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore.
