Question Posted Thursday March 2 2006, 1:57 pm

I have a question on MSN i removed the newer version of msn off my computer and then i thought it was all said and done and then someone said hey to me on the older version of msn and I can't find the icon or toolbar for MSN anywhere on my computer. Its not on the add or remove programs list either. Has anyone else had this problem or can someone help me please?

This is windows messenger, comes installed with most versions of windows by default.
One way i found to stop it was on system startup (just turned on your computer) go into your "program files" folder and rename the "messenger" folder to something else.
Check the settings that it has to make suure it doesn't start up with windows first.

Yes I've had that problem with MSN too. It was really weird. I had removed the whole program and someone still messaged me and I wasn't even online and didn't even think the program was even on my computer anymore. Whenever you download a program, sometimes extra information and documents of these programs are saved in different areas on your computer, so you might have to manually search for these and delete them, which can be kind of hard. What I think happened is that you deleted the newer version of MSN messenger and the older one is still lurking somewhere in your computer. If I were you I would take it to Best Buy or a reliable computer place, and have them delete it, unless you know someone who is real computer savvy, because I tried to manually delete some programs and I ended up unintentionally deleting really important information to another program. It ended up screwing up alot of programs when all I wanted to do was get rid of one program in the first place. So just take it somewhere or ask around and see if someone can look at it. Best of luck. Need anymore advice note me back. Let me know what happens, because I haven't figured out really why that happened to my computer either.

I had the same thing happen to me, the old MSN is automatically installed in your internet browser. So if you open up your internet you see the two MSN men or whatever they are, I am sorry I don't know how to get rid of it, I am trying to figure it out myself, but that is probably where it is located.

Since you asked "has anyone else had this problem?" and also since I don't list this as one of the topics I'm good with, I think you meant to ask this to everyone. You've only asked me, and I have absolutely no idea.

Go to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) and ask again, that way everybody can answer it and you'll get the advice you need.
