Uninstall Windows Live Messenger. To do so:
  1. Press the Windows button on your keyboard, or launch the Start Menu using your cursor.
  2. Select the "Run..." option.
  3. In the prompted box, enter RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
  4. Press the Enter button on your keyboard, or click "OK."
  5. When you are prompted and asked to restart your computer, click "Yes."
Install the latest version from here.
