Windows Live app failed to initialize (0xc0000005) - HELP

[Guest]

I've just downloaded and installed Windows Live messenger.... and can't open
the application keep getting the error message:
"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click OK to
terminate the application"

Could anyone help?

Greetings,

Are you using a Sony Vaio or some other Sony product (say a Sony MP3 player)?

If so, go to Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel and remove the SonicStage Mastering
Studio Audio Filter. If that's not there, try uninstalling any other SonicStage branded
software.

After that, restart and try Messenger again.
