Greetings Fred,

This problem can usually occur when Messenger it set into compatibility mode. To check,
click Start, then Run, type "%programfiles%\MSN Messenger" and click OK. Right click on
msnmsgr, choose Properties and then click the Compatibility tab. Make sure nothing is
checked and then click OK.

Then try running Messenger again.
