I RECENTLY UNINSTALLED WINDOWS MESSENGER 4.6 FROM MY WIN XP PRO
BECAUSE I WASNT USING IT, BUT I REALIZE I NEED IT LATER IN ORDER TO
GIVE REMOTE ASSISTANCE TO MY FRIEND I INSTALLED AGAIN WINDOWS
MESSENGER 4.6 AND NOW IT DOESNT OPEN IT DOESNT SEEM TO WORK, THE
INSTALLATION WORKS FINE BUT WHEN I CLICK WINDOWS MESSENGER IN START
MENU IT JUST DOESNT DO ANYTHING AND WHEN I ACCEPT MY FRIENDS
INVITATION TO REMOTE ASSITANCE DOESNT DO ANYTHING, WHAT CAN BE
HAPPENING, THANKS

Try installing the latest version of Windows Messenger.

Windows Messenger 5.1
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...73-5f8c-4b9a-940f-9157a3b3d774&DisplayLang=en

See if that helps.

Greetings,

Download and run both of these .reg files:

http://messenger.jonathankay.com/downloads/enablemessenger.reg

You'll need to reboot to see the change.
