What happens when you try?

You probably need to logged in as administrator.

I am having the same problem, I even tried doing a search for this messenger and got nothing. The pop ups are unreal. I have the google tool bar, and even that doesnt help. I have cable internet which does not help matters any.

Any advice before I take this Vaio and chuck it out the window?

Thanks

You need to be logged in with adminstrative privileges in order to shut down the Messenger service. You didn't indicate where, long that path of steps, you can't get past.

Is there any guide or tutorial that explains how to use the Windows Messenger Service??

.....and for the people having troubles disabling the Messenger Service: Hold the Windows key and press "R", the 'Run' window will show, then type "services.msc" and the Windows Services Window should appear.......

keep gettint erroe message "the selected port, com 1 is not available at this time

Good afternoon,

My question is about uninstalling MSN messenger. My friend has both 7.0 and 7.5 installed. When I try to uninstal 7.0 the computer will not let me. When I try to uninstall 7.5 it causes some important files (shared with 7.0) to be deleted, thus 7.0 does not work and it still can not be uninstalled. I don't know why both could have been installed in the first place.

Her computer is XP in Spanish. She also has the latest version of McAfee antivirus installed which I thought might be part of the problem...

If you know a solution that would be great,

Thanks,

Troy in Spain
