Microsoft Messenger

[Josh_b]

i know that this isnt probably the right place to be asking this question,
but i recently got a new aser aspire laptop which has windows vista basic. i
have connected to the internet etc but whe i downloaded windows live
messenger an error message pops up saying 'windows messenger has stoped
working. a problem caused thi program to stop working corectly. windows will
close the program and notify you if a solution is available' then it just
closes. i have tried to download it again but the same thing happens. does
any one know if there is an easy solution that can fix this? also when it
closes a litle pop up message appears and says data excuation prevention has
closed messenger. can this be the problem?

The only exceptions list available is for the firewall.

I think they are confusing that with UAC.

User Access Control, the extra "Are you sure" they put in so it's your
arse in a sling instead of Microsoft's when you FUBAR your system

 

[Josh_b]

thats what i was thinking, like even though i hav no idea what the UAC was
the only exceptions list was tha one in the firewall settings...
