    "Windows Live Messenger Has Stopped Working" is the same message I am getting
    annoying now, have microsoft acknowledged the problem?

    RE: Messenger Not Working In Vista

    I have a new pc with vista on it. Messenger has installed, but we can't sign
    in unless I right click on the program and "run as administrator". Any other
    time, windows closes it with the Data Execution Prevention progam. When I go
    into settings, it won't allow me to deactivate DEP for that
    program........any suggestions???

    Well, Apparently the problem is with the latest version of Messenger and not
    older versions. If you download Live Messenger 8.0 it works find no DEP error
    or any kind of error. You can download Live Messenger 8.0 from:

    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

    Although it is not the latest version but its better then not using one at
    all. Hopefully Microsoft will find a solution soon.

    If microsoft was doing there job we would not be having this problem. We all
    need to write microsoft and ask them to do there job and come up with a
    update to fix it. I am having same problem with vista home premium and
    window's live messenger. Microsoft has wrong answers for everything.It look's
    like microsoft has your money and didn't care. microsoft to get Bill Gates
    back so he can clean house then get people who cares.

    thank you sooooo much the acer patch worked. though I had to go here to find
    it.

    http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/de...360faq56.shtml

    that's the page where the link for the patch is for ACER computers. I DL'd
    it and ran it and now MSN workes
    without getting that crash report. btw I also deleted Adobe flash, and I'm
    DL the newest version, so lets hope
    it will still work with Adobe flash and Adobe player running .

    Since you quoted *nothing* of the original posting - many people will just
    see what you posted above. Not much in the way of useful information
    without the background - so I have tacked on the entire 2007 (with a few
    2008 posts scattered in) conversation with the link above.

    Thanks for posting that - I had wondered where they had ended up putting it.
