i was about to sign in to MSN Messenger or Windows Live Messenger version 8.1 this afternoon.
all of a sudden, i got this notification which said that i have to install the latest version of Windows Live Messenger 2009 in order to continue..
i was like, okay.. why don't i give it a try?

after downloading the file and all, turned out that i could not install WLM!
then i had to download another file which was the windows installer or something like that.
okay, done.
then was trying to reinstall WLM..
okay, done.
then, i kept getting an error message "Windows live communication platform has encountered a problem and needs to close".
after i clicked on either send or don't send error report, then i was signed out of WLM.
if i never click on anything, WLM will work perfectly fine.
great.

tried to uninstall and install the older version of WLM.
problem still persisted.
after googling for any solution on the Net, i finally found this:

"THIS is how I fixed the problem.. if you have WINDOWBLINDS (a program to skin windows) it should fix it.. if you dont have this software you will have to find another fix...
I found this answer below on another site.. I cant find it now so I cant give the person credit.. but it wasnt my work around.. BUT it works.. so PROPS to whoever it was LMAO[size=4][color=red][font=Arial]

Start - All Programs - Windows Blinds - Run windows blinds
under settings, choose per application
add per application setting (its a button)
Locate: c:\program files\windows live\contacts
choose wlcomm.exe
check mark: ignore this application and do not skin it
click OK
under windows blinds, apply settings, exit live, and reopen, enjoy!"

and it worked perfectly well!
never thought windows blinds could be such a conflicting problem!
thanks to whoever you are for posting the solution =]
