Scarecrow Man Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 You could try Live Support for Windows Messenger.http://support.live.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozofdeath Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 I just had to do this myself. Its better to disable it because its sort of tied in with the OS and you could get problems if you remove it completely. To disable it, open Windows Messenger, go to Tools, Options, Preferences tab, and uncheck the first two boxes on the top. Then just click OK and close out of Windows Messenger.

Coreper Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 try using another program for uninstalling software [such as CCleaner]ortry looking in the Windows Live Messenger folder, for a file named uninstall.exe or something like that...orif you want to remove the remove the included XP Windows Messenger, download this file, and run it > it removes Windows Messenger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Live messenger is an upgrade to MSN messenger, and is not on a fairly new Xp I have, and there is a unistall in add/remove programs, so I would imagine it's something else.

cozofdeath Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 It is actually in the uninstall list but hidden. There is a file that has a full list of the add/remove programs and each entry on the list has attributes and one of them attributes is HIDE. When you delete that attribute it will be shown in the list, but Microsoft obviously didn't want you to do that and probably for good reason. You should be able to find the file on google.
