windowa live messenger in Vista home premium
Mary Jo Foley of ZDNet has this on her website..
The Microsoft-suggested workaround: 1. Uninstall Flash Player (Click Start-Control Panel-Uninstall a Program, then select Flash Player) 2. Close Windows Live Messenger and any other programs that use Flash 3. Open Adobe public Flash Player beta site (http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html) 4. Click "Download Installer for Windows Active X" to install It's the Adobe Flash player causing the crashes, concurred Robert McLaws of Windows-Now.com fame. "If you're on Vista, you have to install the Adobe Flash beta. (Then), it (WLM 8.1) will still crash on exit every once in a while, but nowhere near as bad as it used to." The other option is to uninstall Live Messenger 8.1, and revert back to version 8.0, which can be downloaded from here. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en "eamled" wrote in message ... windows live messenger loads, shows my contacts and then immediately stops working.

Mike,
Just an addendum, Having been in the beta-you are correct-you need Adobe flashplayer 9 for WLM 8.1 to function correctly-it is now their official version-on their main site. :-) Jeff "Mike Hall - MS MVP Windows Shell/User" wrote in message ...
