Unable to send typed messages - no send button

Hope someone can help. I can type messages in but there is no send button and
as soon as I press return I get the following message
"Windows live messenger has stopped working - a probem caused the program to
stop working correctly - windows will close the program and notify you if a
solution is available"

I have to actually write my messages with the pen which as you can imagine
is slow and frustrating.

I have tried to resolve by installing latest version to no avail!

Currently using Version 2009 (build 14.0.8050.1202)
Please help
Thanks

Greetings Dan,

Do you have any third-party Messenger tools installed? If so, you may want to uninstall them
as a starting point.

As for the send button itself, they have removed it in the 2009 releases and you're forced to
press enter now. And yes, I don't like it either.
