What I've done wrong so my WLM reinstalls every time I reboot my system,
is there any fix out there for this issue.
Thanks

Greetings,

When the Windows Installer detects a change in your installation, it tries to repair
Messenger when it starts.

In general, just uninstalling Messenger and then reinstalling it will solve this problem.
Note that you *won't* lose any of your personal data, like emoticons, etc. by doing this.

Hi,

It's a pretty common problem, so hopefully that will be it.
