Messenger 5.1 will not start

[Punyelroo]

Hi,
Uninstalled MSM and installed Windows Messenger 5.1. Now 5.1 will not start
- the menu option is there under programs etc but when you click on it
nothing happens. Re-installed 5.1 and re-bboted PC but no avail?

Anyone had this issue?

Cheers

Andrew

Greetings Andrew,

It sounds like Windows Messenger may just have been disabled. To correct this, download and
run these .reg files in the affected account:
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/downloads/enablewindowsmessenger_user.reg
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/downloads/enablemessenger.reg
After running these, reboot and then try opening Windows Messenger again.
