To disable messenger service:

Start -> Run, type in services.msc and click OK
Find Messenger in the list and double click on it.
Change Startup type to Disabled and click Apply.
Click on Stop and OK your way out.

Start | Run
type in "gpedit.msc"
click run
click Local Computer Policy
Click Computer Configuration
Click Administrative Templates
Click Windows Components
Click Windows Messenger
on right side, double click each of the entries
click "enable"
click OK
after all has been set to enable, close this program
reboot computer

you should be good to go after that.
