| | one day I was bored and installed this piece of crap windows messenger 5, then I found out the problem that it conflict with Adobe Acrobat 6.03 (it doesn't with acrobat 6.00). when I uninstalled it from control panel, each time I open a pdf file, there is a popup window saying I need to install something.
I tried many ways and can't figure out how to solve it, even in adobe's website they described this problem but did not give a solution.
Finally I was able to complete remove it, it is real simple: download and reinstall windows messenger 4.7, it will completely remove and replace windows messenger 5.0, then remove 4.7 by running this command "RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove".
that is it.
best solution? never install this piece of crap. |

if i disable it in the general tab (so it won't load at startup) it will load at the background for me, i'll get the message 'you have ## unread messages' and all that, but it isn't on the toolbar (at the right bottom) so i can't close it there before i open the full program (at the start menu --> all programs i think) i just don't want it to load at startup, sometimes i use 2 msns, so it's easy to use windows messenger and msn messenger (i use 7.0 beta btw  )

The best way to get rid off the windows messenger is as following:- Don't uninstall it. Just go to Program Files folder and than find the folder titled Messenger. Then changed its name, I have changed it to MessengerOFF. Then it will never auto run. Simple and Safe.........

I have asuggestion. instead of uninstalling your MSNMessenger and make your system less stable and come up with a lot of errors, you can easilly stop it from running. You should go to "run" window through start menu and run "Group Policy Edit" tool by typing: gpedit.msc. then expand the left list by going to : User Configurations>>Administrative Template>>Windoes Components>>Windows Messenger when you go to "Windows Messenger", in the right window you have two items for configuring windows messnger behavior. The rest is easy and up to you.

QUOTE(Dragonfly @ Mar 14 2005, 07:04 PM)  Hi solankyno1, I've tried to follow your suggestion by renaming the folder 'Messenger' to MessengerOFF but i keep getting the following error: CODE Cannot rename Messenger : Access denied.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use The file is not in use nor the disk is full. How can I know that the disk is write-protected or not? I really hate Windows messenger with its ugly interface. Though I have MSN messenger 7 it keeps logging our automatically to be login automatically again at Windows messenger. Sometimes I do not even know when the windows messenger had signed in.... Make sure you exit both program from the task manager and also make sure you have the administrator account or an account that has that access. Also, don't get yourself mixed up between Windows & MSN Messengers as alot of new beginners do, i have had numours calls from friends and family asking why MSN Messenger isn't installed when they keep re-installing Windows Messenher.

Your disk is not locked or write protected, it's just - you already have MSN messenger activated and executed, you must close it and then rename that folder... p.s. you can close it if you right click on it's icon in taskbar, and choose exit (you must close InternetExplorer and outlook before that too...)
