    I've just recently downloaded MSN Live Messenger and for a while it was working w/ MSN Explorer. A new update appeared in a little popup a few days ago so I decided to update it. At first when it finished updating I had a problem when I hit the mail button and it wouldn't take me to my email. I decided to go to AddRemove programs and I uninstalled MSN messenger.. Then I reinstalled MSN Messenger live and it was working perfectly. The only problem was when I tried to sign into MSN explore I got an error message that said.

    "MSN Messenger Service is not installed on this machine. it's a critial part of MSN Explorer and must be reparied. We'd like to repair it for you now"

    So I let it do its thing, tried signing in again, and got the same error. I've been trying everything I can think of but I can't make the darn thing work, and I do know for a fact that I have messenger installed on my computer.

    Does anyone have any idea what is going on with MSN Explorer?

    Thanks

    I'd try downloading the newest version of MSN Explorer, and then reinstall it using the new version, it *should* install Messenger along with it.
    If it ends up installing the old version of Messenger, leave it be... :rolling:
