Yet another reason to wait until Vista is ready for Prime Time. If MS'
own programs don't work in Vista, how can one expect third party
programs to work?

Recommendation: clean install XP and wait for Vista to be ready and stop
being a free guinea pig tester for MS.

macca & Kerry:

This may sound stupid, but are you opening
Windows Live Messenger or Windows Messenger ?

The two 'icons' are very similar, but have a slightly
different colour.

I don't use Windows Live Messenger often, but
when I do it fires up straight away with no problems
on Vista Enterprise.

Just a thought !

Yes, go back to the web site and find the correct version!

If I fall across it again, I will post it!

They do work. I'm having no problem with Windows Live Messenger (8.1)
in Vista.

Where did you download it from?

What version is it?

I'm running the 8.1 beta on my computer now and it's working quite
well.

I'd suggest uninstalling it then reinstalling it, but download it
again first from here:

http://get.live.com/messenger/overview

Click on the "Get it free: button to download.

Versions from other places (e.g. Download.com, Tucows, etc) may not be
current.

I have tried uninstalling redownloading several times, computer supplier even
suggested returning computer to original factory settings and then installing
still same every time first 'Messenger has stopped working - close program'.
second
'Messenger has closed - data execution Prevention has closed messenger -
click for help. Third help suggests then takes you through turning off DEP
for that program. BUT when you try you are informed it cannot be turend off
for that particular program. --- back to the beginning again.

[Guest]

Kerry I have had the exact same problem and have taken all the same steps.
Please post a solution if you find one and I will do the same.

Having trouble with MSN!!! Go to www.Imzers.com and try downloading a
earlier version as that might do the trick, it worked for me. I had Windows
Live Messenger 8.1 and when I logged in Widows would shut it down, so I
downloaded Windows Live Messenger 8.0 and it now works. All the best you
guys.... Go to Imzers.com

Uninstall that and re-download from the URL I gave you.

Didn't work - deleted V8.1 downloaded V8.0 same problem as before

 

[fred_eg_bowinatuck]

Uninstall that and re-download from the URL I gave you.

Reading more, it seems the ability to run Windows Live
Messenger, Flash and Java, MIGHT be related to which you
load first. I am unable to get Flash or Java to run.

Hey Kerry isn't it frustrating when things just don't work!!! I know i hate
it. Even though it didn't work downloading Windows Live Messenger 8.0 if I
was you I would try to download even earlier versions of MSN like Messenger
7.0 for Windows or Messenger 5.1. These can be found on the same website
www.Imzers.com. Hope it works for you. What have you got to loose. Let me
know if you have succsess or not. Cheers!

 

[Guest]

I have had the exact same problems with MSN, very frustrating. I have
downloaded Windows Live, Windows 8.0 and Windows 7.0. Same problem with all
of them. Sometimes if I keep trying to get in it will work but as soon as I
log out and go back in I get the same problem. And there is nowhere to go for
any type of solutions for this.

Hi, I have had your problem myself. I got and upgrade to my Acer, and Acer
have this small anoying program, Acer eDataSecurity. If you delete this
program, which is for no use at all, it will work!
