Windows Messenger 4.7 --- 5
Hello,
I just found out that, Windows Messenger 5 wouldnt start if you've got COM+ Event System disabled and stopped in Services; whereas for WM 4.7, that service isnt necessary to launch WM. Is there a way to start or allow WM 5 to start without executing COM+ Event System service? Thank you. Regards

Greetings Sum,
Yes, it's required -- is there a specific reason you would want COM+ disabled in Services? ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Sum" wrote in message ...

Hi Jonathan, thanx for your input. I have only 160mb of RAM on the system,
and shutting down the service could save a huge amount of memory, probably 3mb or so ? But anyway, I've got MSN 6 installed as well, I'll just use MSN 6.0 and leave WM 5 for the time being  Thanx and regards.

Hi Sum,
XP is actually a very good memory manager, so I honestly doubt you would see any performance difference (besides small tiny number differences in a benchmark application), however, there's probably no real harm in just leaving it that way (I have absolutely no idea what other Windows components will be effected by disabling that service). ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Sum" wrote in message ...
