I run Window XP Home edition SP3, my laptop has 1,8GHz prosr and 2GB RAM.
When I downloaded WL 2009 I cannot login to messenger as the wlcomm.exe error
always appear. Tis program is located in the correct folder and has the
expected size. My AV program allows this wlcomm.exe to have full access to
the web. I have tried to unistall and reinstal WL 2009, read many discussion
forus but nothing really was achieved. Any help? or do I have simply return
to WL 2008?

Greetings,

In all honesty, dealing with wlcomm crashes is a bit like finding a needle in a haystack,
there's plenty of possible solutions that people have indicated have worked, but in some
cases, it's very difficult to figure it out.

I admit I haven't had any time one-on-one with anyone to try and fix one of these, and I may
need to do that.

That said, if you haven't already done so, make sure you're not using a custom XP theme, and
you may need to completely uninstall any "internet security" (at least temporarily) to
determine if that's what's crashing the crashes.

Additionally, if you haven't already done so, removing the cache of contacts on your machine
has proven to be effective. To do so, head over to the following folder, and delete the
"Windows Live Contacts" inside it:
\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft

Where username is your Windows username. Additionally, some of these folders will be hidden
by default, to see them simply press the
Alt key on the keyboard in any Windows Explorer window to bring up the toolbar, click Tools,
then Folder Options, then the View tab, and then choose 'Show hidden files and folders'.
After click OK, they should appear with the other folders.

Thank you Jonathan,

I have tried your suggested set of actions but it did not resolve the
problem. I attach the error report as appears in my computer:

I get exactly the same error on my XP Home Edition desk system with the
Media Center option. I tried using various Registry cleaning programs and it
did not fix this problem.
