Hi my pc crashed, and i msn messnger wasn't working and i couldn't remove it.
So I went and searched for a way to remove it, so i could re-install it i
found the following article : -

http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=288

which advised me to run this command line -

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

I also ran windows install clean up

Now i re-installed 4.7 from the XP CD and its not working, if i install 7.5
that doesn't work, also the msn update site now doesn't work, and i can't
download updates for msn defender either

Please help !

Greetings Chris,

You can regrab 4.7 from WindowsUpdate (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com) but you'll need to
elaborate on each condition on what exactly is happening. It "doesn't work" doesn't help us
much.
