I can see it in the Task Manager, but it is no where else to be seen.
Friends tell me that I am offline.

If I go to the start bar and try to start it, it starts another copy in the
Task Manager, but stll nothing else.

This happened after I tried to make a video call with Messenger.

I have already tried uninstalling and re-installing Messenger but still no
good. I even removed my webcam and drivers.

Any ideas?

Greetings,

What you're describing is generally a problem with Messenger and a router on your local
network. Assuming you do have a router, you may need to either reset it (unplug it and plug
back in) and/or upgrading its firmware to the latest version from the router manufacturer.
