[christofjb]

i've updated my messenger to windows live messenger on recomendation from the
site. the installation goes fine but when i try to install it i get a
msnmsgr.exe - application error message that reads ' the application failed
to initialize properly (0xc0000005). click ok to terminate the application'.
it appears again after clicking ok. i have a sony vaio and have heard that
there are problems linked between these two. can anybody help?

Hi,

Yep. If you remove the SonicStage Mastering Studio Audio Filter from Add or Remove Programs
in the Control Panel, this will be resolved.

Try going to Control Panel - Add/Remove programs and remove:
SonicStage Mastering Studio Audio Filter

I had exactly the same, worked first time.

And after installed Live Messenger, is it possible to reinstall Sonic Stage
Audio Filter without having the same problem?

Hi,

As far as I'm aware no, unfortunately I don't have a test base at the moment to say 100% so
give it a try. You can always just remove it again.
