Greetings,
The registry in Windows XP allows ACLs per each key so I think you may have some serious
issues there.
Regardless, download and run both of these .reg files to see if we can get it working:

http://messenger.jonathankay.com/downloads/enablemessenger.reg
You'll need to reboot to see the change.
