I had this problem and it wouldnt let me download any of the msn messengers, then my computer was slow and annoying, think i had a virus, not saying you have but thats what happened with me, Take a look on the msn website for trouble downloading.

Answer 6

You do not need to remove MSN 7.5, just go onto the msn website and download Windows Live, it should work. Once you have downloaded Windows Live, 7.5 will become unusable and then you can remove it I think.

Good luck. =)

You don't have a virus. It is just a software glitch. To fix this problem do the following:

1.) Make sure your system has all necessary updates from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

2.) Click on Start -> Find -> Files or Folders

3.) Search for sfc.dll. It should be under c:\windows\system32\.

4.) Rename sfc.dll to sfc.dll.x
[x could be any character(s)]

5.) You should be able to do the installs now.

6.) After you have installed the software, change sfc.dll.x back to
sfc.dll.

7.) Done!


I hope that helps, if not there is something else you can do.

1.) Find C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS

2.) Rename the folder "InstallTemp" to "InstallTemp2".

3.) Then Rename the file "x86_Microsoft.Windows.Networking.Dxmrtp… 4ccf1df_5.2.0.4868_x-ww_212f7d9e" to "x86_Microsoft.Windows.Networking.Dxmrtp… 4ccf1df_5.2.0.4868_x-ww_212f7d9e2." [This step is not coming out right, please see the link below for clarity]

4.) Or simply take the folder and the file and add a 2, that way it will replace with a new one.

5.) Install away!

If that doesn't help please come back to this and click on the link below for further help.
