add and remove by billyflapper on 07-28-2004 at 09:44 AM
i've tried to remove messenger plus from the add and remove feature on my computer but messenger plus is not listed there so i tried using that lop uninstaller thing but that didn't work either.

i've tried that as well but it still didn't work. is it supposed to be installed to a certain place?

I have the same problem as billyflapper.
Messenger Plus! doesnt show up on Add/Remove Programs....is this because I dont have administrtive privleges? I followed the instructions that Patchou has on this forum...I tried installing and uninstalling on my comp's administrator profile, and it works fine there....but not on my Guest profile. It's only the Guest profile that has this problem.
I want to get rid of the sponsor search bar, and the little icons on my desktop (travel, casino, printer cartridges..etc.), can someone please help?
Thanks

It is because you don't have enough sort of power too delete it, you need to be on the admins account, and too uninstall this, uninstall plus! then reinstall it and do not accept the sponsor program, even if you press 'I refuse, do not install', it will still say next and you can press it, so do not be confused by it.

quote:That made almost sense (I say "almost")... they aren't asking how to remove Plus!, not how to install without the sponsor or how to uninstall the sponsor. Well the topposter didn't anyways and furthermore, they have problems invoking the uninstall-process, and your post didn't helped to fix that....

anyways, to billyflapper, chasingghosts:
First of all:
If Plus! is installed on the administrators account and you don't have administration rights, then you can't uninstall it. You need to ask the administrator of the computer to uninstall it. (your parents for example, or anywone who is the big boss on the PC
)If you do have administration rights, or you have installed Plus! yourself on your account (which doesn't have administration rights), then you can type the following into Start > Run > ...:
"C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 3\msgplus.exe" /Uninstall
(mind the quotes!)
Note: C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 3\ is the path to Messenger Plus!, this can be different on your pc, so make sure you've entered the correct path...
Note2: If you installed Plus! yourself on your own account (without having administration rights), then look into your Program Files section in the Start menu if you have an menu called Messenger Plus! 3. If so then there should also be a submenu Uninstall Messenger Plus! which you can use...
Second:
By uninstalling Plus!, the uninstall of the sponsor will be executed also (that's the reason why you have that searchbar, chasingghosts) . You need to follow the instructions correctly though (like closing every browserwindow, entering the 7 control digits, etc...). Detailed instructions can be found on: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=21598
Third:
The sponsor is optional. This means you can choose the install it or refuse it while installing Plus!. You need to accept or decline the agreement in the window that Traxor showed. If you refuse to install the sponsor, you can still install Plus! and enjoy all it's features.
