Meanwhile, I upgrade to the Windows Live how do I make sure that it DOES
NOT install into my Startup? #1. In Option, under General tab make sure the Automatically run Windows Livce Messenger when I log on to windows #2. Open Start, then Run and type msconfig The last tab should be Startup. Check if you have msnmsgr.exe there, if you do, uncheck it. -- Vitalie Ciobanu AISBERG http://aisberg.rau.ro "SubMariner" wrote in message ... "SubMariner" wrote in message news:BAFCEFD8-AFF2-44AE-85CD- I checked the task manager & it does not show up. I also ran the remove sequence you described in one of your first msgs in this thread: "RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove " but I get a msg that says "MSN Messenger 4.7 is not installed on this PC". Then Windows Messenger (not MSN Messenger) is gone. There actually was never a MSN Messenger 4.7. FYI, I'm running Messenger 7.5. I see that Messenger Live is available, but isn't that just at the Beta stage & not really ready for mass consumption? Windows Live Messenger was released and is now out of the beta stage. Feel free to upgrade. Ok. Guess I now have my nomenclature corrected. It's WINDOWS Messenger that was removed by putting running that "remove" sequence. However, people are still seeing me "online" when my PC isn't even on. Is this still a Windows Msger problem? And if so, why is it still happening when I ran that "remove" sequence as you suggested? Meanwhile, I upgrade to the Windows Live how do I make sure that it DOES NOT install into my Startup? Thanks again, |

You actually can't stop it via msconfig -- it'll start anyway.

IF I AM GOING TO INSTALL MSGER LIVE I WANT THIS ABILITY. Meanwhile, I am STILL experiencing the logging off problem even though I have disabled my Norton AV policing of Msger & run that "remove" procedure as previously mentioned in this thread. Thanks, ~SubMariner~ |

Greetings,
This indicates that the Windows Installer is damaged. To correct this, click Start, then Run, and type the following: %systemroot%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver then click OK. Then try again. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2006 Jonathan Kay.

I am hoping you can help me.
I am running winXP Pro, serv pk 2, installed the latest and greatest Windows Live Messenger (even tried the Beta version), and when I try to use Remote Assistance I get this message: Your invitation was not sent because you need the latest version of Messenger to use the Remote Assistance feature. Please go to the Windows Live Messenger update site to install the latest version. I have tried to uninstall, reboot, reinstall, in various ways and cannot seem to solve the problem. Can you help? Thanks, Mathew |

Greetings Matthew,
What's indicating is that you need Windows Messenger installed to do Remote Assistance in Windows Live Messenger. Yes you need the old Windows Messenger to do something in the latest Windows Live Messenger. I realize the wording is wrong and I realize the link is wrong. It's been reported and someday Microsoft might even fix it. Anyway, what you need to do is install Windows Messenger (you don't need to use it, it just has to be there) from: http://microsoft.com/downloads/detai...f-9157a3b3d774 After this, Remote Assistance should work from Windows Live Messenger. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2007 Jonathan Kay.
