Re: Messenger Not Working

Hi Leo,

this is the first time that I see this kind of error, are you sure that you
have deleted the folder MSN Messenger?
So, try to delete this folder too:
c:\documents and settings\Administrator (or your principal name)\Application
data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\*.*
PS: if you have some contents installed, you will delete it too, so I think
is better you make a backup of this folder before to delete it.
Let me know if it work.

Regards,
Marcello
