windowa live messenger in Vista home premium
Posted by admin on Apr 1st, 2007
windows live messenger loads, shows my contacts and then immediately stops working. Windows then checks for a solution and then tells me to close the program (no solution) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I use messenger daily

Mary Jo Foley of ZDNet has this on her website.. The Microsoftsuggested workaround:1. Uninstall Flash Player (Click Start>Control Panel>Uninstall a Program, then select Flash Player)2. Close Windows Live Messenger and any other programs that use Flash3. Open Adobe public Flash Player beta site (labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html)4. Click "Download Installer for Windows Active X" to installIt's the Adobe Flash player causing the crashes, concurred Robert McLaws of WindowsNow.com fame. "If you're on Vista, you have to install the Adobe Flash beta. (Then), it (WLM 8.1) will still crash on exit every once in a while, but nowhere near as bad as it used to."The other option is to uninstall Live Messenger 8.1, and revert back to version 8.0, which can be downloaded from here.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=E010F88F85744562AF6D48DD23026B9D&displaylang=en"eamled" Mike Hall MS MVP Windows Shell/User msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/
