First install windows live messenger 8.5, and allow it to update itself. After update finishes, restart the computer and it will work.

This worked for me, I hope it will work on your systems too.

I am so god damn confused that half of it would’ve been too much.

I feel so buttraped by Microsoft. Why the hell would they release an operative system that they not much later, would stop supporting? I mean.. When I bought x64 bit Windows, I did it because I thought it would be THE new stuff along with Vista?

Why create something you wouldn’t back up?

Seriously… Fuck microsoft. God damn retarded shit company. Im going Mac!
