When I open MSN Beta 7.0 it opens with windows messenger, and this is pissing me off...

Because when I connect into MSN 7.0, Windows MSN connects to the same account and then Sing me off MSN 7.0...

Waht can I do???

Sorry for my really bad english...I speack spanish ...

what i did was just go to the windows messenger "tools" went into options > preferences and unchecked everything to do with logging in...

you can also try out programs such as tweaknow powerpack where you can choose restrictions for programs so that they never load...

also, a good idea is to get ad-aware personal (from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ ) and get these addons "Messenger-Control" and "OE-W Messengerctrl"

Edit: i'm not sure if this will help you out or not

... i had a similar problem, but those things solved it... (ad-aware is free by the way) and tweaknow you have to pay for... and i'm not sure how you can create a restriction for the windows messenger program not to load... manually... with out tweak tools... sorry!

Well I tried to restrict Windows Messenger from loading, but then, MSN Messenger doesn't load...

Damn, I'm tired of press everytime ctrl+alt+supr and shut down Windows MSG...

thats weird... r u sure you restricted the right one? i think its msmsgs.exe .. and i also restricted msmsgsin.exe... everything in the "messenger" folder...

if that's not the problem than .. .. sorry i cant help you, its all i know.. maybe for some reason msn 7 is dependent on windows messenger in order to run on u'r computer ... but i never heard of something like this....

Edit: try ad-aware... and after you download them run the addins i mentioned in the post above. hopefully that will help..

eitherway good luck   .. maybe somebody who knows more about those things will post and help you ..

Thanks a lot... I will try to do what you say ^^...

:No-frost:, if you don't speak English well, you can go to the Spanish Official Forums (que si no chanas muy bien de ingles, puedes irte a los foros oficiales en español)

I had the same problem, and i solved it reading this thread:

It's a translated post made originally by CookieRevised, but i have not found the original post in English, UnduTheGUn translated the post insto Spanish and posted it in the Spanish Forums, read it carfully and your problem will be solved, it talks about how to disable the Windows Messenger without uninstalling it

Translation: Es un post hecho originalmente por CookieRevised en estos foros, pero no lo he encontrado, asi que te pongo el enlace a los foros en español, uno de nuestro miembros, UnduTheGun lo tradujo en su dia, y lo posteo alli, leelo y sigue cuidadosamente sus instrucciones, a mi me ha funcionado genial, resuelve el problema porque deshabilita el Windows Messenger sin tener que desinstalarlo.
