This is a really long story...
So I used to have Messenger Plus until I decided to install Messenger Plus LIVE. I installed it and decided that I didn't like it that much and wanted to go back to Messenger Plus. So I deleted everything and I began installing Messenger Plus over again.
The bad thing is, it said that I need Windows Messenger Version 4.6 in order to download it again. So I did.
After I did that, I download Messenger Plus but it opens using Windows Messenger. It has the  Plus tab though, and I really don't know what's going on.

When I tried removing Windows Messenger, it doesn't show up on my Add/Remove Programs.

I know this is a bit complicated, but can anyone help?

Yes so know download MSN Messenger from here -> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?F...c14&DisplayLang=en and then you'll be able to use Messenger Plus! with MSN Messenger.

Thank you, I'll try that =)

Umm, ok...

To remove it, go to Add/Remove Programs, then the tabs on the left, click Add/Remove Windows Componants and untick Windows Messenger (to get rid of it) [Note: To get it back you may need your XP disc, alternatively you can download it]



...but removing it will make it now work...? Bleh.

When you install Messenger Plus!, it also installs on Windows Messenger aswell as MSN Messenger.
Edit: Yeah, you need MSN Messenger

that just removes access to windows messenger from the start menu, it doesn't uninstall messenger at all..

to remove windows messenger completely, follow cookies instructions found here:

I think it does too.  You don't want to get rid of windows messenger like this or else you will lose some functions in MSN/WLM.  The other way that was said in this thread is safe and still allows you to use all of MSN/WLM's features.

WLM doesn't use any of Windows Messenger's features at all (afaik).

Is it fixed now? Or do you still need help?
