Messenger LIVE disappears!

After I successfully login, the messenger window disappears (and all child
windows are gone too) after about 30 seconds. This includes the task bar and
systray icons as well.

I cleaned all temp files / regrestry settings / tried older versions and
nothing has worked. The only MSN I can use is windows messenger. It is still
an active process, just with no windows. I have read about this on many
forums but no one has a solution.

The only change to my computer was the install of Visual Studio 6.

If you cannot resolve this, you can uninstall visual studio 6 and then do a
system restore
to a point before you had the problem.
