Default Windows Media Center

Greetings,

Media Center can use Windows Messenger for its instant messaging feature only. What you have
installed is Windows -Live- Messenger, which is a totally different product.

If you really wish to use the Messenger feature in Media Center, you'll need to install
Windows Messenger:
