MemberHi there I understand some of you are still having difficulties using MSN Messenger.
I would like to suggest you to please update your oleaut files – http://www.macros.com/oleaut.htm and if necessary which is’nt always, then try to download MSN Messenger from site: http://messenger.microsoft.com
In addition, I would also recommend downloading the most recent version of Microsoft Internet Explorer, even if you are not using it as your default browser. You can download Microsoft Internet Explorer from: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/default.asp
Please come back when this has fixed messenger and tell others that this is a proper fix… nothing as frustrating finding and trying a lot of different answers only to find out they didnt work.
Good luck
John ;):)

Memberhey, i’d just like to thank you guys for your help, i had the same problem today as many of you seem to have, and by downloading the .exe file that John McC listed my problem was solved. for some reason i am also experiencing another problem with my easy cd creator 4, concerning the MFC42.DLL file, if someone knew where i could get this fixed it would be greatly appreciated aswell, if i can’t find it myself. Thanks alot, i’ll check in later.
