First stop, download and install Malwarebytes, do a system scan for malware and see what it finds.

    may Ad-Aware personal edition would help too..

    Or try to uninstall MSN Messenger and clear the folders and try again.

    9daed992.x86.dll where is this file located?

    I had this problem with New msn when they released the beta in mid 2008 i unistalled it and reinstalled the older version and then held off untill they sorted the bug out and now mine works fine. Id suggest removing all live messenger software from your computer, re installing windows live messenger 8 and then from there when it promts you, reinstal windows live. If that doesnt work...i dunno. Have you google the error code?
