Communicator 2007 R2 will not start

[BobL]

I have installed Office Communicator 2007 R2 on Windows XP with SP3. The
installation goes smoothly and completes.

However, when I attempt to start the hourglass appears for a few seconds and
nothing happens. There are no error messages logged in the Event Viewer.

It appears others have had similar issues, however the posts lead to a dead
end.

I found one solution on 'Experts Exchange', but I do not want to subscribe
to this service, since I already have this service.

Is there someone who knows the solution to this problem, that will not lead
to a dead end?

Thanks.

Did you try posting to a Communicator group? Such as
microsoft.public.office.communicator? You might find more specific help
there...
