Problem with Messenger
Greetings Sue,
To stop this, close Outlook Express, then download and run this .reg file: http://messenger.jonathankay.com/dow...ssenger_oe.reg After this, Messenger should no longer load with Outlook Express. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Sue" wrote in message ... every now and then when i open my outlook Express my messenger opens automatically i do not have any of the tabs ticked for it to open like that. can someone please help me solve the problem' thanks :0) |

problem with Messenger
Greetings Sam,
Do you have Norton Antivirus installed? Recent versions of Norton Antivirus added a new "instant messaging scanning" feature, which can conflict with Messenger and cause it to also keep starting. To stop it, 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. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Sam" wrote in message news I have XP Pro with SP1 installed. I have it disabled from starting up the PC, yet I'm getting instant messages from my contacts even Windows Messenger isn't enabled or seen in the system tray. When I went to the Windows Update site, it happened again and I do have XP ICF enabled. Any suggestions? |
