windows live messenger

i turned on my computer and it said that windows live messenger failed to instalize propperly and exited and this code came up 0xc000022 i have tried reinstalling it but it keeps doing it please help

0xc000022 is related with access denied.

Possibly virus or malware related.

Try a System Restore to a point prior to your problem:

start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore

whats malware and if i do system restore i have to buy a new anti virus programe because the licence is up i only had 1 regerstration

A System Restore from the above path will only restore your computer to the date you choose. Could be yesterday or the day before or any point prior to this problem. Unless you have installed programs since the point you choose they will not be affected.

Also AVG and Avast are two great FREE anti-viruses:


As to Malware:

I'd suggest following the instructions in this post:
