Well i'm about to throw my tower out of the Window. I am
a computer technician and utterly hate msn+windows
messenger. Nothing but problems. Anyway, a couple days
ago windows messenger (4.7) did not load in the system
tray on bootup. I didnt think much of it, and restarted
to see if it would load. Still the same thing, and when I
go to manually start it, the hourglass appears and then
nothing at all happens. I downloaded MSN messenger 6.1 to
see if that would work. It installed fine, and actually
gives me the login screen. As soon as I log into anyone's
account it loads the contact list for a second and then
minimizes itself and closes itself. It doesnt matter the
account I sign into, it just closes itself down. I have
uninstalled/reinstalled messenger 4.7 and 6.1 numerous
times with no avail. I have done a windows repair to
refresh my system files, and still nothing. The only
thing that I know will fix it is a wipe and reload, and
that is out of the question at this point. I am an
experienced computer tech, and have never had this much
frustration with a peice of software. PLEASE PLEASE
PLEASE help me out. I have seen a couple other people
posting the same problem elsewhere, but no one has
responded with a specific fix that does anything.

Ok I have narrowed down the problem a bit more. Windows
messenger WILL load in winxp as long as I have no
internet connection. If I unplug the cable coming in from
my router, then messenger will actually load. As soon as
I plug it back in, windows messenger quits itself. I hope
this helps you help me!

Well I beat you to it. I finally figured out the problem
with my windows messenger/msn. After much turmoil, I
decided to reset my router.. Sure enough, messenger loads
and no longer quits itself.. All this hassle for a simple
fix!! I hope this helps other people who have had similar
circumstances!!
