With the Messenger Service network trouble on Sunday, i tried using Windows Messenger thinking maybe it'll connect (coz on a forum somewhere someone said he got Windows Messenger to connect when MSN Messenger couldn't) Well anyway, i downloaded Windows Messenger 5.1 and installed it, only to find that it couldn't connect. Once the Messeneger Servers were working again and i got MSN Messenger to sign-in i uninstalled Windows Messenger 5.1 (i don't particularly like using it. I've found file transfer don't work in Windows Messenenger as well as other features that are in MSN Messenger but not in Windows Messeneger).

However, now whenever i open a conversation window for MSN Messenger, or when someone opens one with me, i get a Windows Installer window that says Windows Messenger 5.1 is trying to install. When i click cancel, it cancels, only to open another one. I have to cancel this a few times before it doesn't reappear and allows the MSN Messenger conversation window to open. (See Attachment)

This is very irritating. does anyone know why this is happening, and how i can stop it from happening?
