I'm trying to get the messenger to start but all it's
doing is blinking for a second (hourglass) and then
nothing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled both 4.7 and
5.0 clients with no sucess. Even taskmgr won't show
anythign about msmsgs.exe. I even gone into the
C:\Program Files\Messenger folder and tried to run it
from there.
Any ideas?
