When I usually go to sleep, I put my PC on standby. When I reload it, my resources suddenly get eaten up by an msmsgs.exe. I know thats Windows MEssenger, but I disabled it, because it was a pain in the ars. Anyone know what to do?

Do you actually want the shit on your P.C still or do you just want to kill it?Originally Posted by numba1xclusive
Go to: Start > Run > type msconfig > click 'startup' tab > UNcheck 'msnmsgr' (and MsgPlus if it's there).
Then open MSN Messenger and go to Tools > Options > click 'Preferences' tab > UNcheck 'Run Windows Messenger when Windows starts'. Also UNcheck 'Allow Windows Messenger to run in the background'.

yo
I already disabled it, thats the funny part. I did the msconfig thing a while back, and it was fine. I dunno if I want to kill it, just make it stfu. It really j ust freezes my PC up like a faggot.

MSN Messenger & Windows Messenger are two different programs. You say that you have disabled Windows Messenger, but that exe file thats eating all your processing power is for MSN Messenger, a program which you havn't disabled.
msmsgs.exe is windows messenger, peerzy
now, msn messenger may run under the same executable
hell if i know, beause i dont use it
msnmsgr.exe is msn messenger
not sure about older versions, i.e 4.7
msn messenger is called msnmsgr.exeOriginally Posted by Peerzy
msmsgs.exe is windows messenger.
this only works in xp pro but try going to start>run>type 'gpedit.msc'>computer configuration>administrative templates>windows compnents>windows messenger>then there are two items on the list double click then enable each.
worked for me.
Even though you may have disabled it, another program you installed may have created a second instance which runs on start up. I had that problem several times(NAV is notorious for that with it's messenger protection). Even some hardware will reactivate it, i.e. webcams, digital cams...... and even some online games.Originally Posted by numba1xclusive
Aha. I have NAV 2005,and it seems to eat my system resources for an AV.Does it really create a seperate instance, because if it does, i'll switch over to AVG or Kaspersky. Btw, its definately WIndows Messenger, because I dont use MSN Messenger, and it says msmsgs.exe.
