Default My messenger 2009 is boned.

Never mind this post I found out how to uninstall Live Messenger 9.0 simple :
Start, run and write in this:
msiexec /x {0AAA9C97-74D4-47CE-B089-0B147 EF3553C}
Than click OK. and will uninstall this horrible messenger!

I installed live messenger 9.0 and dosn't let me sign in. Connection ok. How
I can uninstall it? it doesn't show up in control ad/remove. It doesn't let
me install 8.5. The computer did not have live messenger before.

i am rolling back to 8.5 for now. Maybe in another 6 months enough people
will have this problem MS will figure it out.

I'm still having exactly the same problem - any further ideas or should we
all roll-back to 8.5?

Thanks for the reply. I am running Kaspersky 2009 internet security.

I have done a complete uninstall of my anti virus but still no luck.
According to the connection tests everything is ready to go but when I try to
connect .

I use a router but I have tried connecting with and without the router still
the same error.

Windows Live Communications Platform has encountered a problem and needs to
close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.


Messenger does not shut down just won't connect.

Any other ideas?

TIA

Greetings Kilroy,

Another option you've not mentioned here is that some security/antivirus software is known to
cause this problem. You may want to (at least) temporarily uninstall (not just disable) any
such software, reboot and try after that.

I completely uninstalled all old versions. I ran zapmessenger.exe I have
never used windows blinds or any type of theme software. I deleted all the
old cache files.

But still every time I try to connect I get the crash. It doesn't kill the
program but it won't let me connect either.

8.5 works just fine and server tests from 2009 say that it can connect to
the server but still no dice....

Any ideas?

TIA
