MSN Messenger problem

[Sam]

I have a client who is running Windows 98 SE and has MSN
Messenger installed. If MSN Messenger isn't running in
the system tray, you receive the following error:

MSNMSGR executed an invalid instruction in
module <unknown> at 0000:00000123.
Registers:
EAX=011d07fc CS=0167 EIP=00000123 EFLGS=00010287
EBX=00000000 SS=016f ESP=0098fad8 EBP=0098fb18
ECX=010c024c DS=016f ESI=00000001 FS=52af
EDX=8219101c ES=016f EDI=006b5c9c GS=0000
Bytes at CS:EIP:
f0 53 2a 00 f0 53 2a 00 f0 37 26 95 fd 53 2a 00
Stack dump:
00000000 0048434e 011d02f0 011d0314 011d02f0 00484913
011d02f0 011d02f0 00485a85 011d0490 011d02f0 011d04a4
011d02f0 0098fb50 0065aa68 00000006

This happens everytime you go into OE version 6. The
message doesn't appear if it is running in the system
tray. What's going on?

Greetings Sam,

If you download and run this .reg file:
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/downloads/stopmessenger_oe_9x.reg
this will disable the Outlook Express Messenger integration, thereby not causing this to
happen.

Okay, I think I know what you're talking about. Disabling
Outlook to prevent when you start MSN Messenger. I went
into Outlook but the check mark was not there already.

This is strange. I doubleclick on MSN Messenger and OE
opened. When I went into AOL Instant Messenger the
welcome screen just sat there. When I sign in the box
just sits there. Then when I double click MSN Messenger,
OE opened. So, I guess the settings are wrong in OE.

Hi Sam,

This reg file does *not* do what the checkmark does -- the checkmark only works under some
circumstances and Messenger is *still* called. This registry setting in my .reg file
eliminates it completely.
