hey, having some issues with my MSN, its not showing up next to the clock, and when i click it to load up, the egg timer comes up, but doesn't actually load, i've tried re-starting my pc that didn't work, i tried uninstalling messager and reinstalling it, that didn't work, i also tried smacking my pc many times also that didn't work! but hurt my hand

any tips, or help would be nice to a noob with a pc-.-
