Greetings Bob,

Depending on what instructions you used will depend how you "reinstall" it. If you simply
followed a command to uninstall Messenger, all you have to do is re-install it from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/messenger/download.asp

If you followed a registry patch of someone's to disable Windows Messenger, so it *can't*
load, you'll need to download and run these:
