Removing Messenger
Great, that appeared to do the trick, thanks.
Although I couldn't shut it down initial as apparently other programs were using it??? Also, when I did the uninstal, it said that there was an error unregistering the OCX 16422, I presume that is not a problem? Cheers Andy -----Original Message----- Greetings AW, You can, but if you do, you will be preventing Remote Assistance, Whiteboard, and Application Sharing from working. However, if you don't use this functionality that would be disabled by removing Messenger, you can simply remove it by closing down Messenger if it's running (right click the messenger icon in the notification area/system tray and click close). Then click the Start button, then click Run and type in (copy-paste if you like): RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir% \INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove Then click OK. Messenger will then be uninstalled. For more detailed instructions and screenshots, go to, http://messenger.jonathankay.com/problem.aspx?ID=7 You can reinstall it whenever you like however. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2004 Jonathan Kay.

Hi Andy,
A lot of applications utilize Messenger (including some Antivirus utilities and so on). In most cases you can ignore the OCX error (if Messenger is gone, it's not an issue). ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2004 Jonathan Kay.
