Is the same as you are getting???

Hi Bushman
Your problem is the same as I am having. I also run XP Home, on the XP professional machine the msn messeger updated no problem, the isp is aol on that one. This one is via ntl.
It is as if the programme cannot find what it is looking for, and it is soooo annoying isn't it?
I cannot even uninstall the msn messenger from my add remove programmes it comes up with the same error code and denies itself being deleted.
I have tried most the ideas posted here including the last one to your message.
I got drastic and removed windows sp2 service pack, have had two e-mails from msn messenger help both said to do the same thing but you can't because you can't uninstall the existing msn messenger.
Windows messenger has a list of all my buddies but it isn't the same as msn is it?
Any new ideas please anyone??? Make it in easy to understand please, not an IT buff but can follow easy to read instructions.
Is the conflict something to do with a security issue, I reckon it has to be as so many people seem to be suffering the same problem after updates.
Mine worked perfectly well until then.
