WLM2009 not showing up but still in tasks list

Hi, the problem is with last WLM2009 version which is not showing up (no
window, no error message...) but is still in tasks list. Here's how it gone
:

I installed the last WLM2009 version from WLI wlsetup-custom.exe, checking
only Messenger, from a non-admin account on Vista but provided the admin
password as required for installation. No problem during installation.
However, I was prepared to see WLM at the end, but nothing happened.

Then I tried to lanch WLM manually, to no avail. But in tasks list, I can
see 2 msnmsgr process. I'm unable to kill both, so I tried to reboot. Vista
won't let me do it (freezing on closing) and I had to turn off my computer.
After the next boot, I checked the processes in tasks list and again msnmsgr
is there but not showing. My firewalls (Windows and KIS) are ok with WLM.
2 uninstallations et re-installations later, still the same problem.I've
seen nothing on it in newsgroups or in MS online help before.

Any idea ?

WLM 14.0.8064.206
Vista Premium 32bits SP1

Greetings,

In versions of Messenger prior to v14 (2009), this would usually indicate that a network
device (usually a router) on your network was not responding to UPnP properly. This problem
should be fixed, however, perhaps there's still a problem there.

To test this theory, unplug the network cable or disable the network adapter, reboot and try
again. If it works, then your router may need to be reset or may need new firmware.

Thank you for replying,

I unplugged the network cable with no effect and again had to do a hard
reboot to reboot the computer.
