Hi! can I just clarify that you are using Windows Live Messenger.

I have Vista Ultimate and Live Messenger works fine. Are you running the
latest version 8.1?

We have set up numerous client machines with no problems, just open Live
messenger, either sign up for a Windows Live ID or enter your own registered
details and the app should open and run OK.

Regards
Stuart
