Greetings,

To fix this, make sure the Windows Messenger isn't running, then start the registry editor by
clicking Start, then Run, type "regedit" and then click OK. Navigate to the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MessengerService key (they look like folders), click the
MessengerService key, then choose the Edit menu, and then choose Delete.
