I was online today and was logged into my wife's MSN Messenger, and this "there is a new version of MSN Messenger.." thingy appeared in the box, well, i clicked on it, updated it, and rebooted, and now my msn messenger has gone whacko.. i get: CCTCClient: msmsgs.exe - Application Error --- The instruction at "0x77f515c0" referenced memory at "0x00370586". The Memory could not be "read". .. but what's worse, it does this 3 more times with different 0x000000 thingys and the last one being "written" instead of "read"... any ideas?

help :dead:

installing over the top of a bad install never works... you need to uninstall it all, msn im and the plus (which is probably the problem), then reinstall msn im to see if it works.

i tried to uninstall via the edit windowsinfsysoc.inf method, and there's no Messenger in the Add/Remove Components.. is there another method of removing msn messenger?

    • Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99.

      I remember when all games had demos; it was a normal thing, not a limited time promotion.
