Everyone also please note: the messenger that windows ships with is NOT *MSN* Messenger, it's Windows Messenger, which is a different (but confusingly similar) program.

Hi Everyone!
Here is the deal: When windows ships, it is loaded with a version of messenger. If you goto ADD/REMOVE and then select the side icon for 'Windows Components" you will see a new list of special windows apps. Scroll to the bottom and you will see windows messenger with a check box. If you dont want it, that is how to uninstall it. IF you DO want it, you need to update it when it pops up as an option in your tray (Lower right side of task bar). Many people go online and download the newer version and the result is that they now have TWO versions running on there computer. If that happens, you need to make sure you open programs (from start menu) and open the newer version, which currently is 7.0. Good luck.

If you never use it, just uninstall it from COntrol Panel Add/Remove program. It's not required.

I constantly get messages to update messenger to 6.2 when I already have it and try to update and it never will let me...I am system administator and am logged on as such ...very annoying!!!!!
I am sick of messenger and never use it and wish it was not part of msn...how can I get rid of this annoying message.
