I installed today windows messenger 4.7 , but it does not start. When
i try to start it, in the eventlog this message appears:

Event Type:    Information
Event Source:    (MSN/Windows) Messenger Service
Event Category:    None
Event ID:    4
Date:        9-12-2003
Time:        23:20:52
User:        N/A
Computer:    INSPIRON
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 4 ) in Source ( (MSN/Windows) Messenger
Service ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the
necessary registry information or message DLL files to display
messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the
/AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support
for details. The following information is part of the event: .

In the past i removed windows messenger (older version) with:

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection
%windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

Now i removed several times windows messenger and reboot, and did a
new installation, but that did not help.

OS is Windows XP Professional , servicepack 1.

Greetings,

Try downloading and running these .reg files:

http://messenger.jonathankay.com/downloads/enablemessenger.reg
After this, reboot and see if you can load Windows Messenger.
