Windows Messenger Still Loading - Help!
Greetings Clippy,
Do you have Norton Antivirus installed? If so, Norton added a new "instant messaging scanning" feature to recent versions of Norton Antivirus, which can conflict with Messenger and cause some of this behavior. To stop it, open Norton Antivirus (Right-click on the Norton Antivirus icon in the System Tray/Notification Area (by the clock), choose 'Open Norton Antivirus'), click Options, then Instant Messenger then uncheck MSN Instant Messenger and click OK. As well, close Outlook Express, then download and run this .reg file: http://messenger.jonathankay.com/dow...ssenger_oe.reg This will stop Outlook Express from loading with Messenger. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Clippy" wrote in message ... I've read many posts here about uninstalling windows messenger as I only wish to use MSN Messenger. I've followed all the advice from stopping it loading on startup to deleting the thing but still it persists! Now when I log onto the net I have found it runs in the background and logs me in with no clue that it has until someone suddenly IM's me out of the blue and up pops it's icon! (I have no idea i'm signed in and others can see that i'm online until that point)Also if I load Outlook Express it then seems to appear, or when I log into MSN Messenger it tells me i'm logged into a net pasport already (which I presume is windows messenger). I've double checked all the options that windows messenger doesn't load up or log me on on startup but it's still there! Any ideas anybody? Cheers Clippy
