I reinstalled Windows Messenger, thru ADD/REMOVE Windows Components, but when
I click on msmsgs.exe, nothing happen. I did reboot and the same, How can I
get it back. MSN MESSENGER, every time I want to see my messages on my
Hotmail Account, the computer stop responding. Any help will be appreciated
 
Greetings Donaldo,

You can't reinstall it from Add/Remove Components, this merely adds the icons back.

You can reinstall Windows Messenger from here:

Jonathan: I was able to reinstall windows messenger, but now when I click on
the Icon or the msmsgs.exe file, nothing happen. Please help me one more
time. Thanks.
 
Hi Donaldo,

It sounds like Windows Messenger may just have been disabled. To correct this, download and
run these .reg files in the affected account:
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/downloads/enablewindowsmessenger_user.reg
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/downloads/enablemessenger.reg
After running these, reboot and then try opening Windows Messenger again.
