Cannot Uninstall or Reinstall Windows Live

Yesterday I decided to try out the new Windows Live Messenger afte
getting a message about it. After trying it I decided I prefered m
Windows Live Messenger Plus! version better. So I went to trying t
uninstall the new windows live

For some reason, I can't. I've used the Run format of uninstalling it
it tells me that there isn't a program to uninstall.. I've uninstalle
all programs relating to Windows Live messenger on my computer, and whe
I try to install WL 8.1 it tells me I have an updated version of it o
my computer already and cannot install.

I tried to redownload the new version, and it says I already have it o
my computer. I've restarted my computer several times and each time th
new Windows Live will pop up when I log back on. However I can't sig
into it. It keeps telling me the service is unavailable. Error code
8004015

So I can't get rid of it, and I can't use it.. can someone please hel
me?? This is starting to feel more like a virus rather than a proble
with uninstalling a messenger.

My friend and I managed to figure out the problem. Just instal
ZapMessenger. It removes all traces of Windows Live Messenger on you
computer, without removing anything permanent like chat logs. You ca
reinstall your preferred version from there. :
