MSN Messenger error

I've got WindowsVista, have for a few months now and I have been using MSN messenger with no problem until recently.

I thought originally it was an MSN problem, but very much doubt it now.

I had this error message so un-installed it and found a new version and installed it but still get this error message. Had an email the other day for a new BETA version so installed that but no, the error is still there.

[traceback (most recent call last):\n','File "c:\\pyagore\\pyagore/_init_.py",line3,in<module\n', 'ImportantError: No module named shell\n']

I'm wondering if anyone has heard of this before?? not sure if it's linked with another problem i got [which ill post separate in a mo]

Can anyone help?

    so: are u saying the error message occurs only when u attempt to start msn messenger?? Does messenger 'ignore' the message and actually start up??

  • sorry was typing other problem up.

    It's on automatic start-up. so when the wireless kicks in it starts up. I can uninstall it and be done with it btu just wondered if anyone heard of this. I am at the moment using web messenger and can also use trillian.

    thanks

    What actually is it you've got installed? There isn't an "MSN Messenger" at present, it was replaced with "Windows Live Messenger" which I presume that's what'd be compatible with Vista.
