Messenger update popups

[Noelani]

Every time I log onto AOL I get this popup telling me I
have to install the new version of Windows Messenger to
use the program. I haven't EVER used the program, but I
can't seem to be able to get rid of it or the popup. It's
annoying to have to close the popup any time I want to
use the internet.

How do I simply get rid of the Windows Messenger program
without damage to my computer?

Greetings Noelani,



You can delete Windows Messenger by following the steps bellow:



1st Way:



1) Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs

2) As soon as the "Add/Remove Programs" window appears, click on Add/Remove
Windows Components (at the side).

3) Once the "Windows Components Wizard" window appears, scroll down to the
end and you'll "Windows Messenger" ticked. You just have to untick it and
just press next. You're Done!



It would take a few seconds in uninstalling Windows Messenger, so no need to
worry if your computer hangs.



2nd Way:



If you're in a hurry and don't like following the steps above, just
following these short steps:



1) Start > Run

2) Type in "RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection
%windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove" (Without the quotes)





Thanks and Good Luck!
