Can anyone help with difficulties with MSN Messenger

Red Sleeping Beauty

Hi lads, when I click on someone's MSN link in their profile to add them to my MSN I get this message :

"The MSN/Windows Messenger/Live Messenger functions only work when launched from Internet Explorer on a system with the Messenger application configured and running."

Now, I've got my MSN open and I'm signed in but I still get that message. Any tips on how to configure this to work ?

Cheers for any help.

If you go to tools>options>security, the last tickbox says "open windows live messenger when I click a link on a webpage that tries to interact with windows live messenger"

maybe try clicking that see if it makes a difference?

Nope, that box was clicked. I unchecked it, shut down MSN and reopened it and clicked it again and I'm still getting that message.
