Joel Posted September 23, 2001 Share Posted September 23, 2001 Go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components. Messenger should be on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcb Posted September 23, 2001 Author Share Posted September 23, 2001 nope, i've tried all that, but messenger wont appear on the list (probably because its been mutilated on my system) [see post#1] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
configure Veteran Posted September 23, 2001 Veteran Share Posted September 23, 2001 In that case, your bro might have deleted msgrocm.dll (C:Windowssystem32Setup):sleeping: Replace it with the one on CD (I'm sure it's there) then re-load Add/Remove Program again, see if "Windows Messenger" is there. Oh, don't forget to remove 'hide' from sysoc.inf (read the HOWTO on link above):p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb Posted September 23, 2001 Author Share Posted September 23, 2001 thanks, but msgrocm.dll is still on C:, but is not on the CD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb Posted September 26, 2001 Author Share Posted September 26, 2001 ok, i've done and tried everything suggested so far, but i cant get Messenger 4 back. is it still up for download anywhrer? or any other sugestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Prowler Posted September 26, 2001 Share Posted September 26, 2001 You haven't tried everything yet. Let's see.... You have a Dell... The typical solution from Dell would be "Reinstall". I'm a service technician and I see this stuff all the time. You have a great multi-user system, so why are you not using it... I bet he was using your account and that account has full Administrator access. Give him his own account and lock it down so he has no access for deleting system files. You can either reinstall XP or go grab "Trillian the ultimate chat program" and it will access your MSN account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

configure Veteran Posted September 26, 2001 Veteran Share Posted September 26, 2001 Weird, Windows Messenger should appear if you've that .dll file in where it suppose to be and you've removed 'hide' from windowsinfsysoc.inf. Ok, so it don't appear, messenger is prolly a part of IE, Try re-install IE, see if it works.. Goodluck.:old: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
