WLM keeps crashing

My main PC can't run WLM. It runs 7.5 ok, but no version of WLM will run for
more than 2 seconds without crashing. Every other application runs ok.

-I have XP SP2 with all the latest updates
-I have tried re-installing multiple versions of WLM
-I use the standard sign on pics and backgrounds
-I have scanned the system for spyware and viruses
-I have varied the installation directory
-I have sent about 1000 error reports
-I have run the Windows Installer Clean Up and a registry cleaner
-I have tried re-installing .NET as well

Can someone please shed some light on this?

You need to uninstall all versions of MSN Messenger, before reinstalling
the latest Windows Live Messenger, including the Add-ins that MSN messenger
installs.

Also, to avoid problems in the future, always install Software programs,
using the Custom Install route, so you can see what additional programs, the
main program will be installing. And you don't need to install all optional
programs for the program to work.

Cheers for the response mate, but I've tried that already.

I have since formatted, and it still won't work. Ah well, Trillain ftw
