In uninstalling Windows Messenger I got this error message. What should I
do. When Windows Messenger is uninstalled does it uninstall the .NET program as well? Bob |

error unregistering the OCX 16422
Greetings Bob,
This usually indicates that Windows Messenger was still running when you executed the command. To try again, firstly, if you have Norton Antivirus 2003 installed, 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. Secondly, open up the Task Manager (press Ctrl-Alt-Del, or right-click in the taskbar and choose Task Manager), click the Processes tab and look for 'msmsgs.exe'. If you see it, click it and then click 'End Process'. After confirming this, run the uninstall again. I'm not quite sure what you mean by ".NET" program -- if you're referring to the .NET Framework, this will have no effect on that. Messenger isn't related to anything .NET except for .NET Passport, .NET Alerts and the .NET Messenger Service -- all of them services, not actual software on your computer. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Bob" wrote in message ...

Jonathan,
I just got my computer a week ago. I don't have norton antivirus on the unit. I also could not find "msmsgs.exe" in the task manager. The closest I can get to that is "BCMSMMSG.exe"? Ran the uninstall again and got the same error message? Bob "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" wrote in message ...

Hi Bob,
If msmsgs.exe isn't running, then there's no need to worry, it's been uninstalled. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Bob" wrote in message ...
