What should I do if I want to use only one of them? How to uninstall Windows Messeger?

Posted by: chuong at May 21, 2004 8:01 PM

Uninstall Windows Messenger by using Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components, and deselect Windows Messenger. It may be enough, though, to simply configure it to not start when Windows does. That's in Windows Messager's Options dialog.

I have Windows XP and the person I'm trying to video/audio message has 2000ME. The Audio works well, and I can send my video with the audio working. However, when the ME person sends his video, the video "locks up" and eventually, his system "freezes".
We're both using Logitech web-cams and MSN Messanger.
I have Norton Anti-virus as well as Norton's Firewall.

Offhand I'd say that his system is too underpowered to send video, but I could be wrong. Could be several issues at play, it's hard to say what. I'd probably start by making sure he has the latest drivers for his video card, and that his system is as up to date as possible.

Someone pleeeez help me. This is a strange difference I've come across between MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger. Whenever I use MSN Msgr I can never see any font colours except for black (my own or others) even though this option isnt selected. Neither do the backgrounds work - even though its MSN 6.1. However, the colours for the fonts work fine with Windows Messenger. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling MSN Messenger tons of times and nothing works. Any ideas? ... I have MSN Plus installed, and the same font colour problem happens with Yahoo messenger if thats of any relevance.... I'm close to giving up.

Open up Messenger, hit Tools, Options, General and DEseelect "automatically run Messenger when Windows Starts up". Hit OK on that, and close Messenger.

Now right click on the messenger icon in the status bar, and select exit. Messenger should no longer run unless you explicitly tell it to.
