turn off Messenger service popups
The easist way to stop receiving this kind of message is to turn off Windows Messenger service. If you are running Windows XP, following these steps:
-Click Start button on your toolbar.
-Click Run...
-Enter "Services.msc" (without quotation marks) and click OK.
-Browse the list till you find "Messenger" in Name column
Right click and click "Stop" on the pop up menu. That is not all. If you don't want the service to start the next time you start your computer, continue with the following steps:
-Double click it. The Messenger Properties (Local Computer) dialog box comes out.
-Choose "Disable" in "Startup type" drop down box.
-Click OK.
type "msconfig" in euh... the (uitvoeren.. in dutch dammed dunno in english) third box from down to up in the taskbar. Then go to the tab of start up and deselect msn. Can do it also with other prgrams.
good luck :beerchug:
The messenger service and the IM client are completely different things.
