MSN Not Working - Now Remove Windows Live Messenger

Many People frequently face MSN Messenger problems. They complain MSN not working or are not used to the new version and try to remove it from their computer and reinstall. But most cannot successfully remove it. How can we get rid of this problem? Now let me tell you how to uninstall it from your computer.

New Windows Live Messenger 9.0 has been integrated with Live Movie Maker, Mail, Writer, Photo Gallery, Family Safety, Outlook Connector and other Windows utilities. So you can not find it in the Add/Remove Programs. Microsoft have replaced the name with Windows Live Essentials. If you remove it, you will uninstall all the components together too.

You can remove it by two ways. I will list them both below. If you can not uninstall it successfully with the first method, you can try the second one. Just follow the instruction below.

1. Use Add/Remove Programs.

Go to Add/Remove Programs and find Windows Live Essentials. Click on Change / Remove and a dialog will pop up. You can choose Repair or Uninstall. If you choose repair, MSN will be repaired. If you choose uninstall, all the programs will be deleted from your PC.

After you complete the steps above, you may reinstall it on your PC. If you cannot find the icon of Windows Live Essentials in Add/Remove Programs. you can use the method below.

2. Use CMD.exe
Follow the steps below:
a. Click on Start - Run, then enter "cmd". Window C:WINDOWSsystem32cmd.exe will pop up.
b. Then input "MsiExec.exe /X{A9D94100-37D6-4D7B-A795-BD050BA9602B}" and press Enter.
c. Then Windows Installer will ask you "Are you sure you want to uninstall this product?". Click on Yes.

The last method is very effective in removing windows messenger. I suggest many people use this method. Most of them successfully removed it and fix all problems. Only few failed.
