      Have you followed the steps above to repair Windows Live Messenger? I have tried to do a re-install too, and for some reason it wouldn’t fix the Error, so I had to do a repair and it finally fixed the Error Code 80191002 that I had on my system.

    Unfortunately, these steps do not help me. It all boils down to restart your computer. When you’re in the middle of a project and have been for many weeks, restarting is just NOT an option.

    Bottom line: MSN is broken and needs some recoding.
