I've also had a lot of problems with XPs Instant Messenger. Looks like it is time for another service pack update from our friends at Microsoft. "major user of Yahoo Messenger" humm that's not a bad idea. Maybe it is time to move on. Too bad MS puts out buggy software.
My problem was:
I also want to get rid of Messenger, but your fixes don't work.
I also don't want msn.messenger to log on to the internet and throw up two annoying screens every time I turn on my computer. I've used msconfig to shut off msnmsgr.exe and it works until I check my e-mail then it is back. I do want to use my msn e-mail, but I don't want msn.messenger at all. I just followed a WinMsgr link and got some instructions. The first instruction used the Preferences tab of Tools Options General SignIn. No good. Checked my e-mail and it came right back. I then used a registry Messenger\Client instruction. Also no good. Is there a way to go into the registry and put in a line to remove or disable the msnmsgr.exe in the startup? Well I guess my computer has msn messenger herpes. I can't get rid of it and it always comes back. Please help if you can! I'm very very frustrated here. I also run XP Home Edition.
