The button on the keyboard is probably just to open Windows messenger not MSN messenger. They are actually 2 different applications. Windows messenger is a windows component which is why you can open it with a keyboard button as it is integrated with windows; it is there from the start.
Unless you can change what application the button opens, you can't really do anything with the button if your using MSN Messenger.

polygamy?
sorry not familia with windows messenger.

you should be able you configure the keyboard in the control panel real easily, have you also tried uninstalling windows messenger in the add-remove windows componants, windows messenger is now end of the line, they stopped making updates as far as I know.
RE: stop msn loading more then once by hexdude on 06-06-2005 at 05:53 PM

still doing it after an install, i think there is a polygamy installed how do i remove it?
RE: stop msn loading more then once by Stigmata on 06-06-2005 at 05:58 PM
Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Msn Messenger -> Repair.

Couldn't tell you, thats out of my league. But as far as I know that shouldnt be an issue, did you restart after doing the uninstall, then delete the remaining windows messenger folder as for some reason, windows still seems to run if you do not. It's built into the system so it's never really fully uninstalled!

If you have patched msnmsgr.exe with polygamy, just reinstalling MSN Messenger will get rid of the polygamy. You can do this from add/remove programs, scroll to MSN Messenger and click change.

God Damn Windows Messenger, Why Was That Ever Created, Was There Ever Any Need For It.

uninstall msn completely, and delete the msn messenger folder
than install msn again from here:

what exactly does this polygamy thingy do? sound like more trouble than it's worth to me!
RE: stop msn loading more then once by Zephyr on 06-06-2005 at 06:06 PM
You can open A-patch and select restore backups which will restore MSN Messenger to the way it was before you used A-patch.
But the safest way to remove polygamy is go to

Polygamy is where you can run two instances of MSN Messenger at the same time. A-patch and Messpatch are patches which have this, but it can also be done with Stuffplug NG, a plugin for Messenger Plus.

Multi MSN is the same as polygamy, but that multi msn looks quite good with the easy enable/disable feature. This is also better than a patch which is illegal.

Those polygamy patches don't do anything else and aren't troublesome at all...

And installing a polygamy patch isn't going to do anything good and is in fact most likely the cause of the problem.quote:StuffPlug works in the exact same way, as well as hundreds of others...

But anyways, hexdude, make absolutely sure (200%) that you don't run or didn't run any other polygamy patch in the past or the present, as this is the only way that such beheviour can exist...

I know Stuffplug has the same enable/disable feature, but that Multi MSN actually patches the msnmsgr.exe file whereas i don't think stuffplug does. (Correct me if i'm wrong)
The Multi MSN also has the enable/disable thing for removing the ads as a patch.
I know this can be done with stuffplug as well, but not actually patching MSN.

Do you have stuffplug-ng for messenger plus! If you do, open plus preferences, plugins, stuffplug-ng, configure then disable polygamy.
