MS Messenger History Not Working...

[Terri]

Trying to access history of conversations on MSN Messenger and all of a
sudden, recd this message. Have Windows XP - IE 7 and messenger 7.5. I did
do a repair and that did not do the trick. This worked up until very
recently.
ANy help would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings Terri,

It's the IE7 beta actually -- it can't handle the extra space in the path for the XSL
stylesheet.

If you update to the latest IE7 beta, this problem has been rectified:

I tried your suggestion but when it goes to install, it says I already have
IE 7 on my computer and that I should go to to add/remove programs - now
what???

Jonathan:

I figured it out - uninstalled and reinstalled and you were correct - it
seems to be fine!
Thanks for your excellent advice!

Welcome, my apologies for not being clear about the uninstall/install thing.
