windows messenger 5.1 tries to re-install and i can't do
that and the adobe reader never opens. any help woud be

I'm pretty sure there's a bug in the newest release of Messenger which
is screwing up Windows Installer. If you're still getting the Windows
Installer messages, you haven't properly uninstalled WM5.1.

Click Start -> Run and enter the following:

Msiexec /x {C3A6819F-62D3-4750-AF1C-28206DDF2C2E}

(You'll need to be an admin for this to work)

Once you've done this, you should be able to reinstall WM5.1 and all
will be well again
