Hi JGirl,

You do not want to get rid of Windows Messenger x.x because other programs
need it to run. You can prevent it from loading at startup by doing the
following.

Goto Start/Run -type in msmsgs click OK. Click on Tools/Options. On the
Preferences tab, remove the checks for "Run Windows Messenger when Windows
start" and "Allow Windows Messenger to run in the background". You will only
see one Messenger icon in the systemtray now when you re-start.

Go ahead and upgrade to 7.5...Enjoy!

Hi Sparda,

Not to speak for "JGirl", but I'm sure one was Windows Messenger and the
other was MSN Messenger.
