Greetings,

To correct this, click Start,then Run, and type the following:
msiexec /x {1F0BD960-6525-4FEE-B577-2473F77F1277}
then click OK.

Note: if you're using Windows Messenger 5.1, use this one:
msiexec /x {C3A6819F-62D3-4750-AF1C-28206DDF2C2E}

Then, after uninstallation, reinstall Windows Messenger 5.x from:
