Since reformatting my hard drive and installing Messanger version 7.0, I have
been having several probs running the program and accessing my mail.
Firstly to clarify is Windows messanger and MSN messanger one of the same
thing or are they seperate items ?
When I start the PC I often get two icons on the taskbar for messanger - one
showing the two figure icon and the other a single figure icon.
When I try to sign in for Windows messanger I get a message stating 'a newer
vesion is available' and that I need to download it. I have already
downloaded vesion 7.0 which I believed was the latest !
If I choose the download option it states that I need to close I Explorer,
MSN Explorer,Outlook express & Outlook. Despite these programs being closed
the program wont download and ignoring to download takes me back to square
one.
If I go to hotmail to access my email the program generally takes so long it
wont open and I cant access my mail.
I have attempted to remove messanger and re-install through the add/remove
programs folder but despite the program no longer showing on the list it is
still present when I reboot on my start menu and taskbar !!!!
I would appreciate if anyone can advise as to the problem as I didn't have
this problem with the previous version and only ever had the one icon on the
taskbar.
I have also attempted a re-install of the program but as already stated it
seems to keep just re-appearing after uninstall with the same problems.
Eos.
