Dear Sammyturnip:
Try to check if the msn messenger option is still in the Add/Remove program in Control Panel. If it is, uninstall or repair it by selecting it. Try checking if the msn messenger shortcut on your start menu is correct by right-clicking it and selecting properties. If all these do not help, try contacting msn messenger help.

I have Windows ME on my computer and until yesterday working MSN Messenger. However the icon from the task bar has disappeared and i am unable to connect to MSN Messenger through my start menu as it says the Parameter is too short.
I tried to re-download MSN but it said:
Unknown\Installer\Assemblies\Global.
I have no idea what to do!!!
