Fix false Messenger message : You have 1 invitation

[HappyAndyK]

These days I keep getting the: "You have 1 invitation" message. On clicking and visiting the webpage I find that there are no invitations pending.



On searching I found the following:

"Please know that this is a known issue with Windows Live Messenger. Our product group is aware of this and is working diligently for a resolution. The fix is set to be rolled out on the next release of Windows Live Messenger. Unfortunately, our Product Group didn't give the exact date as to when the next release of the program will be."

Anyone else ever faced this problem?
