I recently downloaded the FB messenger app for windows.

 

The file downloaded okay (I think) but when i tried to install it, it just hangs on the getting started screen and nothing happens.

 

I then gave up on it and deleted the .exe file.

 

Now every time I start my lap top up the app trys to load and hangs on the getting started screen.

 

Nothing else happens after that.

 

How can i stop it please ?

 

Thanks

Do you need to uninstall the half-installed program?  Have a look at these instructions from Microsoft's web site:
