Deleting the bits only made my problem worse, as I could not find some random bit that made it think it was still installed

Klunky? have you tried Office 2007? wow! it's not like I was taught how to use Office in the mid 90's at college, then used it regularly for the last 15 years, just so they could change damn near all the controls so even simple tasks take me forever now, not to mention the enormous headache the new layout gives me on my 24" screen... oh wait that's exactly how it is...

M3 Sweatt, thanks for trying... I would be more than happy to elaborate on any of my Vista experiences, just drop me a line. As for XP, it was great, still use it for work and as a backup. I consider switching my main PC back almost daily when my screen gets dots and then my display driver crashes. Hopefully Ati will have that figured out pretty soon.

M3 Sweatt is there a trick to get full screen on one monitor and then still be able to use the other? for example I have a 24" LCD and an old 21" crt as my secondary. If I run Media Center on the 21" in full screen I can't get the mouse pointer back to the 24" side to do any work, brilliant!

Paul for what it's worth, after the last batch of updates I installed/de-installed messenger another 20 times and it fixed itself... yay! I guess.

If you ever get your messessenger to work you can disable the pop-up in "options"

Goodluck Paul

Yes, many times... and to be honest I've spent hours and hours reading forums and googling problems since Dec 17 when I decided to try Vista Ultimate, after another hour and half of reading it's still broke.

Live installer couldn't install messenger because it's already installed... so I go to unistall programs select messenger and unistall... yay messenger has been successfully removed, mmmkay try to install wlsetup.exe (both custom and web) from the link provided, and I get to choose the programs I would like to install, but there aren't any, under "you already havethese programs" top of the list is Messenger. I've tried rebooting between unistalling/reinstalling I wish there was a way of manually installing messenger so it would fix whatever I have done.

The best part of this is when it does work I probably won't be able to sign in, which is what started all this when I updated messenger.

Thanks for getting back to me so quick/at all, I would not want to have your job... – Mike, on January 23, 2009 02:25
