Basically the install went fine, or so it says. There's a blue underlined
link saying "Start Messenger" but when I click it, nothing happens, including
having taskman opened next to it, to see if any processes sprout up.
This is a fresh install, and I am quite confused. Also, the actual msn live
..exe is no where to be found. I'm guessing the install was faulty... But
every time I run it, it rechecks and says it's fine?

Greetings Michael,

Check \Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Messenger for the executable (msnmsgr.exe).

Hi Michael

I have the same problem, but can't find the programme file mentioned by
Michael. Were you able to get rid of the dead link. And if so, how/

Would appreciate your help.

Hi Michael

I've just had the very same problem with the blue underlined dead link. I couldn't find the programme file Jonathan mentioned. Maybe you had better luck, or found another solution.

If so could you let me know? Thanks

Ross B
