Just wanted to be sure there was no conflict. I seem to have a problem with
one of the svchost files keeping my user profile from reconciling although I
can't figure out why it is not closing. I have too other PC's with the same
problem--always happens after installing Office 2003.

At least I know that it is not messenger!

Media Center does not use Windows Live Messenger at all, so there is no
conflicts really if you install that on your Media Center PC.

Media Center only uses Windows Messenger (for the Instant Messaging
features). Unfortunately, that feature won't be provided in Vista's Media
Center.

I am running MCE 2005 and Office Standard 2003. I recently updated
Messenger to Windows Live Messenger.

Is there anything that I need to do in regard to changing settings in
Media Center for the old Windows Messenger so I don't have any conflicts?
So far everything seems to be working OK, so I have not reopened the old
Windows Messenger at all.
