MSN Messerger 7.5 and 8.0 beta will not run

[Guest]

I recently installed a new SATA drive and used Ghost to migrate the data from
my old drive. Everything is working great except for MSN Messenger 7.5 and
Beta 8.0. Beta 8.0 will install, but not run at all. I tried uninstalling,
reinstalling and repairing the client without success. I'm also having the
same problem with MSN 7.5, however when the client launches there is an error
message 'msidcrl40.dll is not found'. Again, I tried uninstalling,
reinstalling and repairing the client without success. I can't find any
information on this problem or on the .dll on Microsoft's website. Any ideas?

Thank you

Thank you for the information, but the problem still persists. Windows XP
Messenger seems to work fine though. I tried all of the fixes and one have
any other ideas?

I don't understand how messenger both doesn't and does work? MSN messenger
is windows messenger. Do you mean version 4 messenger?

Sorry for the confusion... yes, Windows Messenger 4.7 works fine, but MSN
Messenger 7.5 and 8.0 Beta will not run. The client will load, sing-in and
display my contact list, but then crashes. There are no errror conds
displayed, but there is extensive text included in the error message sent to
Microsoft, none of which makes any sense to me.
