However, I still cannot install or use any form of Windows Messenger.
To go into more detail, I tried installing the latest version of Messenger direct from the Microsoft site. The loading screen comes up, and loads for about 3 minutes (which seems rather long). Picture here.
I choose to only install messenger, no other toolbars or anything, and it begins to install.
Then, once it reaches 100%, the loadbar "rollbacks" and the progress goes back down to 0, as shown here
Then, I receive this error message, but I can't find the file that it is talking about in the error message.
Ideas?

You receive error code 0x80070643 or error code 0x643 when you use the Windows Update or Microsoft Update Web sites to install updates http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958052
Go to Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs and on the left side go to, Add/Remove Windows Components and Windows Messenger is there. It is part of the Windows install and you can add it from there.
When I did that, I uninstalled and reinstalled Windows messenger, then it appeared in my start menu, upon clicking it, it searced for messenger for awhile, then this came up: http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/2154/msngerahh.png
I hit "fix it", now when I click on messenger, nothing happens
Looking in your task bar, that isn't the right Icon for Windows Messenger. It is supposed to be 2 little Pawns like in chess, sitting beside one another. One of them is Blue and the other is Green. Did you reboot?
