have WinXP MCE2004(NOT
2005), was logging into Windows Messenger and got popped-up dialog box
alerting to a newer version available. Clicked on it and on a few more otha
links and sumhow got to a page that mentioned regarding Windows Messeger
ADD-INs NO LONGER SUPPORTED and suggested installing alternative MSN
Messenger instead.............
went ahead UNinstalling Windows Messenger (think it was v4.7) via Add/Remove
Windows Components by UNchecking box next to Windows Messenger...but da
shortcut (guess dat's wat u call it) to it was still there in da Start Menu
so cuz I was just curious if it was completely uninstall b4 going ahead and
install MSN Messenger BETAv7.0, I clicked on shortcut and it
launched...apparently what was still WINDOWS Messenger 4.7???!!! OK, no
problemo, i'll just "REMOVE FROM THIS LIST" (Start Menu) by
right-clickin.........
...............now here's my Q: was this sufficient as far as da UNinstallin
process of a previous version b4 installin da new version? what happened back
there? how come da old v was still launched (meaning it wasn't really
UNinstalled but just kind of hidden away? HUH??????????)
then i just kinda ignore it as not being too serious (dat it
launched..assumin i can assume this??!!), i downloaded and installed da BETA
and used it, so far it seems OK (meaning no ill effects so far).
So BOTTOM LINE is, am I OK? (or is my system OK?) just cat away and living
life to da fullest? or is it gonna come back and polstergeist me?
Thanks for ur help,
