Message Pop-ups
End screen spam
Louis from Montebello, California, called asking how to disable the gray pop-up windows that come up every time he surfs on his Windows XP machine. Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows XP all include the Messenger Service. It's enabled by default. Messenger allows system admins to send little messages to everyone on a network, alerting them when the server is going down. The service makes a lot of sense on a corporate network, but home users don't need it. Here's how to disable it: Right-click My Computer and click Manage. Click Services and Applications. Click Services. Scroll down to Messenger and right-click the entry. Stop the Service. Choose Disable as the Startup Type. Click OK. -----Original Message----- 1. I am getting so many messenger service pop-ups...does anyone know how to disable or stop these pop-ups??? Was this messenger service placed in to windows xp? 2. When I downloaded the windows xp...My printer and scanner doesn't work any more...I am having difficulty finding updates for both my printer and scanner at printer and scanner corporate web site. A. Printer: Epson Stylus Color 640 B. HP ScanJet 4100C I would appreciate any help...please Charles Harmon . |
