windows messenger

[LouA]

using XP SP2 and Office XP. Under Programs the windows
messenger is listed but I cannot activate it. It is
started in Services. When troubleshooting I noticed
msmsg.exe is missing under task manager Processes. How
can I re-install messenger?
As it is now cannot operate it, the net is working fine.
I D/L messenger 5.0 through help and support.
Can someone help

thank you

Greetings Lou,

"Messenger" in services is Messenger Service; not Windows Messenger. So, if you click the
Windows Messenger icon, nothing happens?

Assuming this, download and run these .reg files in the affected account:

After running these, reboot and then try opening Windows Messenger again.
