MSN: Crash on startup

[Hidduh]

I have a surtain feeling that the new SA:MP version is causing my MSN to crash.. When I try to launch MSN/WLM it displays the '<program> is not responding'.


Just an example, not the real message.

I tired the following;

- Reinstalling MSN. (didn't work)
- System recovery. (did work, but only for one day. after a new boot up I got the same thing)
- Running MSN as an administratior. (didn't work)

Anyone got a clue how to fix this?

1.) If it gives you an error number, google it.
2.) Else, go to Program files and find the folder where MSN is located. Delete it manually (but run the uninstall first!) then reinstall from scratch.
3.) If all else fails, run Ccleaner and clear registery errors.

Didn't work.. Thanks anyway.

Edit; seems like i'm unable to run the uninstall program and a couple of directories are missing from the /Messenger/ map..

Considered that you have a virus? Check out your AppData folder and delete all Windows Live Messenger data.

Thanks for the responce - there's no Windows Live Messenger data in my AppData/Local directory. Tho, I am able to run Windows Live Essentials BETA 2011..

Glary Utilities Use this program, make a simple scan, try to remove the erros.
Delet the folders one by one that contains any msn shit.

C:\Users\USERNAME HERE\appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts

C:\Users\USERNAME HERE\appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live

C:\Users\USERNAME HERE\appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\MSN Messenger

C:\Users\USERNAME HERE\appdata\Local\Microsoft\Messenger

May give it a try

Oh and that new WLM is so fucking annoying.. Your FaceBook Status and MSN Status both change to the same, contacts are difficult to get to and tabbed convos (I personally don't like tabbed, but some people do ^^)

Thought I'd give the new WLM a try, turns out that it doesn't work for me either. Crashes as soon as it logs in (Win 7 x86 & x64)

There was a thing with Avast, AVG & MS Security Suite that if you added the Windows Live folder as an exception, it would fix it. Didn't work for me, but it has worked for many.

Just using the old version on my laptop
