I haven't found a way to uninstall Windows Messenger or
disable it from signing on as soon as I start the
browser. In order to use all the features of MSN
Messenger, I just make sure to sign in there; it
automatically signs me out of the other Messenger.

>I have recently bought a new PC with windows xp on it.
As part of the package it had windows messenger on it. I
was using it to chat to my friends as I already have an
account with msn messenger using my email address as a
passport.
>I found I couldn't use my webcam as the windows version
of messenger doesn't support webcams so I did as I was
instructed and downloaded msn messenger 6.1. Now both
windows messenger and msn messenger fight to load when I
open up my pc. I have tried to uninstall windows
messenger but can't find it listed on my uninstall list.
Can anyone help please.
