Removing Upgrade Nag Screen by realrobley on 02-26-2006 at 04:08 AM

Does anyone know how to remove the "A Newer Version is available" Nag Screen at the top of the messenger 6.2?

I tried everything including look through the registry for the build number ect but no luck for me?

Someone plz help??

I think you'll find a nag free version of 6.2 here:

No it still nags :(

I tried that version and its like nothing I do will stop the nagging, its like my ex, just wont give up.


I did find something interesting though....

I found that in the registry at

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSNMessenger]

"BgDlJobVer"="7.5.0324"

If I edit that key to a higher value it will disable the message, but the wierd thing is that I can only run messenger once and get away with it because when you launch messenger it changes the keys back to its original value so if I close and re-open the nag screen is back.

Does anyone know how I can work around this? I guess I could just run a reg script everytime that messenger loads but thats not a good practice.

Any Ideas?






Thanks again

Rob

I'm pretty sure A-Patch can do this:
