Just to clarify: The message says WINDOWS MESSENGER? When you say it has been re installed & is working, are you refering to MSN MESSENGER? (You downloaded?)

Or WINDOWS MESSENGER 4.5 (built-in to xp.)

Does the error box say on top MESSENGING SERVICE?

Hello Jephree.
thanks for your help.
the box says on the top next to the red X "INSTALLATION ALTERED"
and it reads MSN MESSENGER.
many thanks

sorry,mislead you.
just got the box up again and it reads as follows
top blue line reads "INSTALLATION ALTERED"
then next to red cross it says"WINDOWS MESSENGER OR MESSENGER PLUS HAS NOT BEEN INSTALLED PROPERLY>PLEASE DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE SET UP OF THIS PROGRAM.
????
thanks very much

Did you intentionally install the program "Messenger PLUS"?

This is a third party "add-on" to MSN Messenger. (just btw: some spyware issues have been noted with this program)

I would suggest deleting Messenger PLUS just to see if this resolves your issue.

many thanks box now gone.
