MSN Messenger, Windows Messenger
Using MSN messenger, I get a popup window that states I've logged on to
another computer and in my task bar it shows I've logged into Windows messenger, which automatically closes my MSN messenger. Can I remove Windows messenger from my computer and still have MSN messenger work? I'm also confused, is Windows Live Messenger, an upgrade to Windows messenger or MSN messenger? Help anyone, I'm lost! Arlene |

MSN Messenger, Windows Messenger
Greetings Arlene,
As long as you don't mind losing Remote Assistance, Whiteboard or Application Sharing within MSN Messenger, you can simply uninstall Windows Messenger by clicking 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 Windows Live Messenger is an upgrade to MSN Messenger, it has nothing to do with "Windows Messenger". -- 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.
