msHi there

Installed Windows Vista Home premium, downloaded Live messenger,

it says it has installed correctly, however everytime i turn on my machine
or double click on msn messenger to start nothing appears.

If i use task manager I can see that there is a process called msnmgr.exe
running,

bugt still no log in screen appears.

Any suggestions?

I've tried logging out and back in again, but no luck!

Delete the following key (all values and subkeys) from your registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger

You will lose all your personnal settings but it will work (I just didn't bother finding the right value. Go for it if you feel like it!)
