The very first time I rebooted after installing Vista Home Premium SP2
my Live Messenger application refused to start. Now, after several reboots I still will not start. Is this being caused by SP2, or some other sort of problem? Nothing new, other than SP2, has been installed and it was working fine just before SP2. Questor |

Questor Apparently, SP2 messed with some core files that Messenger needed so when I reinstalled Messenger - twice - it finally runs normally. Questor |

No problems here before OR after SP2....... -- Asking a question? Please tell us the version of the application you are asking about, your OS, Service Pack level and the FULL contents of any error message(s) |

I thought it was very interesting. When I re-installed Messenger, three or four DLL files were replaced and Messenger started right up. When it was not starting, there were no errors shown in the event log, nor were there any type of notices in Task Manager that Messenger even TRIED to start. The only indication I had was a brief "spinning circle" cursor and then ... nothing. Questor |
