Redirected from the Software Forum

Hi.

Your Software Forum sent me.... I cannot install MSN Messenger. It continues to error with a code of 1603. Upon researching this code, it says to disable your anti-spyware software and reinstall. However, I do not have anti-spyware software running on my machine (that I know of!).

My machine says I have MSN Messenger 6.0, however I can't launch it. It tells me that I need the updated version (which I can't install). Also, I've tried removing Messenger through the Add/Remove Program function - this will not work as well.

I am running XP Home on a Sony PCG-GRT360ZG laptop.
I have current versions of Ad-aware and Spybot S&D (which I have just completed running). I also have Zone Alarm for a firewall, and AVG for my anti-virus.

Any assistance you could give me, I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

Here's my HJT log:
