But unfortunately, I am not able to find live messenger icon anywhere in the system tray. The live messenger icon is missing in my system tray.....can anyone help

• First, exit Windows Live Messenger completely - To do this, right-click on WLM button/icon on Taskbar and select Exit.
• Go to Start and locate WLM shortcut.
• Go to Compatibility tab. Tick the check box for Run this program in compatibility mode for under “Compatibility Mode”, and then select your Windows from the drop down list.
• Click OK.
• Run Windows Live Messenger.

Try this...

• Open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del
• Click on "Processes" tab
• Highlight the "Explorer" process
• Click "End Process" -- This will stop your desktop.
• Click on "Applications" tab
• Click "New Task"
• Type "Explorer" and click OK. This will restart the explorer which manages the desktop.

Hopefully, the icon should return....all the best
