ok Pablo i did all the 3 steps i described below and deleted the
subdirectories from the 2 destinated directories plus the registry subkey
stated and no it hasnt worked for me.
the website where i had seen that is this one
http://www.bigblueball.com/forums/wi...ssenger-2.html
and it appears that it has worked for many people but not for me.
i know that microsoft wouldnt recommend to just go on and do what somebody
stated in another site but i think there should be an answer on this bug or
an unofficial temporary workaround if such exists.
would be nice to have a reply from Jonathan.
