Can't delete Windows Messenger
I'm an old dog trying to survive computers. My son used
this computer (dial-up connection, Windows XP) & used MSN Messenger on it. He now has his own computer & has a dial- up connection with Windows 98 & is using MSN Messenger on it. He tried to delete it from my computer, but evidently did not succeed. I still get the blue box -"You have been signed out of MSN Messenger because you have signed in at another location" & also still get some of his messages. Every time I get online & he's on also, I knock him off & he has to sign back in, etc. I've been told that XP comes with Windows Messenger & can't be taken out, but I evidently don't know if it's Windows Messenger or MSN Messenger. MSN Messenger Tech Support told me on the phone they could not help me because it was Windows Messenger. They referred me to this site. Contacting God is easier than contacting Microsoft. Neither are on the list of "Add/Remove Programs". In "Tools" - "Options" -in the "General" section, the top 3 boxes are NOT checked. I don't know what else to do. How do I get rid of it? Thanks.

Can't delete Windows Messenger
Greetings Wilbur,
The easiest thing to do here would be to remove his saved Passport in your Windows XP and therefore nothing can sign in as him (because at the moment, you could access all his Passport-enabled websites as well). To do so, click the Start Button, then click the Control Panel. Then, click User Accounts in the Control Panel. Select your account name, and then on the left side of the screen, under Related Tasks, click 'Manage my Network Passwords'. In the window that opens, click the Passport.Net\* (Passport) entry and click 'Remove'. It shouldn't bother you again. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Wilbur" wrote in message ...
