Greetings,
Those reg files are for Windows Messenger 4.x or 5.x, which as you already mentioned, is
working fine.
Instead of randomly grabbing at straws, deleting Messenger files and so on, try might try
using System Restore to restore to a few days ago before the problem occurred. To do so,
click Start, then Help & Support, then "Undo changes to my computer using System Restore" and
then restore back to before it was a problem.

Hi,
Until today messenger 7.5 worked like a charm, then this morning I
couldn't log in. So, I downloaded messenger 8. Now when I double click on the
icon nothing happens. But, if I go into task manager I see it there as a
process, but never as an application.
Now to make matters even more complicated, I had an older version of
messenger (version 4), and to my astonishment, it works just fine.
I have tried running the two .reg files (enablemessenger +
enablewindowsmessenger) mentioned previously in this forum but seemingly to
no avail.
I'm running XP professional with all the latest updates/patches etc.
Could someone please help me, it's driving me bonkers.
Thank you.
