    - Viewing friend's profile..help!! OK, so one of my friends I KNOW has a profile and when I click on his contact card it says photo album empty and then when I click profile it says this person either doesnt have a profile or you dont have permission to view it. I just talked to him last night so I know i'm not blocked (he wouldnt block me anyway he's a good friend!) and one of my other friend's contact card link to her profile/pics is working fine. So, can you block someone from your profile without blocking them from messenger OR can you have pics on your contact card w/o having them in your photo album/profile OR is there some other explanation I havent thought of?? Thanks for your time and help!! kc Tag: MSN Installation Error Tag: 82277

    - MSN Messenger Ghost My roommate and I both use MSN Messenger 7.0. We both have separate log-ins on my computer. He's on my contact list and I notice that, whenever my computer is turned on, Messenger contantly logs him on and off, throughout the day, even though he's not on a computer anywhere. His status instantly goes to "(away)" when this happens. And his personal picture is not displayed when this happens either. When he truly signs on, his picture shows up. This has to be some sort of bug on my computer since, whenever it's turned off, this problem doesn't occur. He tried uninstalling messenger and reinstalling it using different information, but the problem persists. This problem has not happened for me on Messenger. Just him. I'm looking for the solution for him and so that I don't have to contantly see that he is "signing in" throughout the day. (His other contacts see this happen too.) Any ideas?

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, making sure I got rid of windows messenger, looking at my firewall and antivirus setting, but it keeps freezing. It will do it for a random period of time, ie. 3 weeks, then will suddenly work again. I have no problem using other IM programs, but really want to get back to using MSN. My computer doesnt freeze, just the program itself until I have to ALT-CTRL-DEL to end it. I tried the newest version and still does the same, anyone with suggestions.

This didn't happen in version 7.5. Does anyone know where I can disable this function. There was a time ... and I only had it activated for about 5 minutes, where ... if I typed two o's together, it would give two animated eyes. But I ditched that probably a year ago. If it's been reactivated in this beta ... any ideas on how I'd deactivate. Thanks. Diana Tag: MSN Installation Error Tag: 82125

Greetings,

This indicates that the Windows Installer is damaged.

To correct this, click Start, then Run, and type the following:
%systemroot%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver
then click OK.

Then try again.
