[Error] | Messenger Errors ( Crash )

[The Grasshopper]

I did something stupid and would like to fix the problem. weellll, can't fix the stupid part but,

I have MCE05 and was trying windows messenger 4.7 in the media center side.

i thought it was unsafe and should delete it and update to version 5, but i forgot to delete 4.7 before i installed 5.

so i went and tried to delete 5 and everything about messenger. I deleted the messenger folder in Programs>Messenger.

everything was deleted except the "messenger.exe" file. that was version 5.0. It wouldn't let me delete that.l

so now..i reinstalled 5 because i keep getting the same error. and tried to uninstall it with its ininstaller but there isn't an option to uninstall/rollback becuase i must have removed the necessary files when i deleted the program folder. now i get errors everytime i open msn messenger or windows messenger.

can anyone tell me how to fix this...or get me the system files i need to repair? i can't find them on my winxp mce discs...or don't know where to look to install from..tried to do a restore..but it said restore cound't be done!

I can''t get that error to stop everytime I turn on MSN Messenger. i get that report error screen and i look at the problem file name and it says its msmsgs.exe version 4.07, the thing is. it's not turned ON. my msn messenger 7.5 is! i use msn premium and everytime i log in...BAM...there's that error...its just driving me crazy..can anyone help please

Thanks

I tried something similiar to this before. this seems to have done the trick!

Will let you know if it doesn't. but so far after several restarts and asking if i would like to remove peronal settings to messenger 4.7 and a shutdown with 1 fatal error. I restarted again and no error

Thanks!

This worked!
