Windows Live Messenger Not working

[napoleon]

I have recently upgraded from Windows XP to Windows Vista on my computer. After installing this new operating system the Windows Live messenger is not working at all on my pc? When ever I start it then it crashes itself and then gives me a message that Windows will notify of a problem. When I go onto other machine which came preinstalled with Vista, there the messenger works fine? Any ideas what is the problem here?

For a start you can try to uninstall and reinstall the Live Messenger and check if that works. Other things that you can do is, since you have done an upgrade install I think that the problem might be caused due to flash player or which was installed in Windows XP and also java application. So, try to install the latest version of Adobe flash player and and also the updated version of Java and see if that solves the issue. Also, if you have norton installed then turn off the norton instant messenger scanning which usually conflicts the messenger application. Hope that this will solve the issue.
