Messenger in MCE not sending messages

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi. I uninstalled Windows Messenger from MCE2005, then installed MSN
messenger. I noticed that Messenger services were not working in MCE
so removed it (it wasn't until after I removed it I found postings on
here saying MSN messenger is not supported).

Anyhow, I couldn't work out how to reinstall Windows Messenger, so
downloaded and installed the latest version of it from Microsoft.

I am now able to receive messasges, but am not able to send them. If I
type them in media center, they appear to be sent but they never appear
in the actual messenger window on my MCE pc and they never arrive at
the other end.

Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks in advance for any help.
