how do I uninstall this piece of shit ? Everything I do, the piece of crap pops back up soon as I go into Outlook. btw, after I get the answer, I am going to prison for murder of my sister for installing it !

use windows add/remove programs menu

p.s. why h8 messenger i use it all the time

Go into control panel > administrative tools > services

Find messenger, and put it on disabled.

tried both things, it pops back up everytime I open Outlook. This is not a simple fix, I have spent over three hours trying different ways to remove.

Why do I want it removed? whatever was done when setup, my sister put in her login info. So I get her business' IMs at my office all day, everyday. First while working, I hate things popping up on my already slow machine (has crashed me twice). Second, she needs the info these people are sending, and I do not have the time to call her everytime it pops up. I have uninstalled, disabled it, logged her out and unchecked the box that remembers her info, but everytime I open my work email , its back.

Don't use Outlook Express dumbass.

What version of Outlook?

-Adam

If she has to use instant messenging, have her check out trillian...fuckin love it.

Also, there should be an option inside ms mess that lets you control when it opens, but you have to sign on to get to it I believe.

I am telling you, the simple fixes are not working, this is a possessed version of messenger that will not go away.

Adam, I will check version of Outlook in morning and update.

OK try this..click start, run, services.msc and see if you can crush it. Also, do a search on your harddrive for MSN or Messenger and start plinking them.

Sorry I can't be of more help. =\

Try Hijack This. Sounds like you have a hijacked messenger.

Yeah messenger shouldnt be that anal.

Find the file itself and delete the fucker. (might have to do it in safe mode under admin privelages)

its actually the way Windows works sometimes.

Check the accounts setup in Outlook, if any are a hotmail account, remove it. Do as everybody suggested above, delete Messenger from your system.

Honestly though, thats Microsoft and their faggot .Net passport for you.

You might be able to change the default instant messenger program from Messenger to something like AIM or Yahoo and deal with it that way. Personally I like setting mine as Yahoo because it never pops up anything on me.

Yeah and when you try closing their shit they make it sound like it will be the end of the world for your other programs.

Go under Outlook express under tools/options/messenger and unclick (run messenger on outlook startup). Should become default for Outlook also.

Here is a program that will help you out. Its easiest way to solve your msgr probs it can delete completely or disable or cloak it from outlook incase you want to keep it but just dont want it poping up every time you check your mail.

Messenger Disable app. just save to disk.
