Greetings Gloria,

Assuming you don't even use the Toolbar, head over to Add or Remove Programs and uninstall
it. It's an option to install during the Messenger installation but isn't necessary for
Messenger operation.

Hi Gloria,

Must of this stuff you won't find in books -- at least not until I write one.

Jonathan - or someone out there.

I am getting the message #msntb_toolbar_full_name# is unable to load its
config fig. I tried to unstall the toolbar as stated in these conversation
but it won't let me. Tells me I have an invalid patch. Is there another way
to fix this problem? I thought I had a virus but after looking at these
messages, perhaps it's this toolbar problem.

Hi Yvonne,

When does this message appear exactly? It might be easier to just disable the toolbar
depending on when the message comes up if the uninstaller isn't working.

Hi Jonathan
It comes up each time I open a new application. Can it be disabled, and if
so how can that be done?
Thanks.
