uninstall windows live messenger beta in microsoft vista

Hi all.

I have installed the latest version of windows live mesenger beta a
couples of days ago and i found that the web cam became blur when im
having video chat with my friends. So i uninstalled it from control
panel and choose the uninstall program. I have checked qll the box
including the messenger, movie maker, silver light etc. When i try to
install the older version fo the msn it didnt allow me to do so & said
that i have the newer version with me. So i repeat the uninstallation
process from control panel a few times and it still the same then i get
mad & deleted the whole windows essentilas from my laptop but i still
cannot reinstall the windows live messenger (neither new nor old
version). Help plsssssssss :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

Greetings Brenda,

Not that it matters, Messenger has been out of beta since December.

Try out ZapMessenger to help with clearing Windows thinking that there is a newer version:

After that, you can go ahead and install the previous version, which can be done by just
downloading and running the following Microsoft Installer (MSI) file:

Thank you, jonathan. But i have rstore my system last night back to the
day before i updated my messenger to the latest beta version. Hoever, my
older meseenger is ahving problems now as when i nudge my fren or my
fren nudge me or when someone came online, no sound is play. I have
check frm the options, i did turn on the sound but i found out that the
sound file for messenger are all lost. Anotehr problem is i cannot send
video call to my fren and i only can accpet their invitation to have
video call. By the way im using windows home vista. Thanks.

Hi Brenda,

If some files are missing (like the sounds), the quickest solution is just to do a repair
install of Messenger.

To do that, just head over to Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel, choose Windows
Live Messenger and then choose the Repair button.

Hi Brenda,

With Mcafee, your best bet generally is just to uninstall and then go ahead and install it
again. That should fix any problem there.
