Meanwhile, I upgrade to the Windows Live how do I make sure that it DOES
NOT install into my Startup?


#1. In Option, under General tab make sure the Automatically run Windows
Livce Messenger when I log on to windows
#2. Open Start, then Run and type msconfig
The last tab should be Startup. Check if you have msnmsgr.exe there, if you
do, uncheck it.

I checked the task manager & it does not show up. I also ran the remove
sequence you described in one of your first msgs in this thread:
"RunDll32
advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove " but I
get a msg that says "MSN Messenger 4.7 is not installed on this PC".


Then Windows Messenger (not MSN Messenger) is gone. There actually was
never a MSN Messenger 4.7.


FYI, I'm running Messenger 7.5. I see that Messenger Live is available,
but
isn't that just at the Beta stage & not really ready for mass
consumption?


Windows Live Messenger was released and is now out of the beta stage.
Feel free to upgrade.


Ok. Guess I now have my nomenclature corrected. It's WINDOWS Messenger
that
was removed by putting running that "remove" sequence. However, people are
still seeing me "online" when my PC isn't even on. Is this still a Windows
Msger problem? And if so, why is it still happening when I ran that
"remove"
sequence as you suggested?

Meanwhile, I upgrade to the Windows Live how do I make sure that it DOES
NOT
install into my Startup?

Thanks again,

You actually can't stop it via msconfig -- it'll start anyway.

Yeesh. Why is are the Msger programs being made so invasive? Consumers want
the ability to start & stop it when THEY want to. IF I AM GOING TO INSTALL
MSGER LIVE I WANT THIS ABILITY.

Meanwhile, I am STILL experiencing the logging off problem even though I
have disabled my Norton AV policing of Msger & run that "remove" procedure as
previously mentioned in this thread.

Thanks,

~SubMariner~

BTW, today I "saw" myself (MSN Messenger) online while on another PC and
mine wasn't even running! What is going on with this?

Greetings,

This indicates that the Windows Installer is damaged.

To correct this, click Start, then Run, and type the following:
%systemroot%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver
then click OK.

Then try again.

HOWEVER, when I go into my Program files I see that MSN Messenger is indeed
in the program files. If I try to remove it, it takes my ability to IM out.

This is MSN Messenger 7.5.

I am hoping you can help me.
I am running winXP Pro, serv pk 2, installed the latest and greatest Windows
Live Messenger (even tried the Beta version), and when I try to use Remote
Assistance I get this message:
Your invitation was not sent because you need the latest version of
Messenger to use the Remote Assistance feature. Please go to the Windows Live
Messenger update site to install the latest version.



I have tried to uninstall, reboot, reinstall, in various ways and cannot
seem to solve the problem.

Can you help?



Thanks,

Mathew

Greetings Matthew,

What's indicating is that you need Windows Messenger installed to do Remote Assistance in
Windows Live Messenger.

Yes you need the old Windows Messenger to do something in the latest Windows Live Messenger.
I realize the wording is wrong and I realize the link is wrong. It's been reported and
someday Microsoft might even fix it.

Anyway, what you need to do is install Windows Messenger (you don't need to use it, it just
has to be there) from:
http://microsoft.com/downloads/detai...f-9157a3b3d774

After this, Remote Assistance should work from Windows Live Messenger.

Gee thanks man, almost tore my hair out after upgrading to live messenger 8.5
then getting this error -

Your invitation was not sent because you need the latest version of
Messenger to use the Remote Assistance feature.

Found you reply, followed the link & it worked like magic.
