RE: windows 2000 problems
you get these arrors on xp aswell. the only cure i know for xp is to install service pack 1. make sure u install all the service packs for win 2000. it should get rid of them

btw its nothing to do with messenger

Start => Run => services.msc

Find "Messenger Service", double click it

Set startup type to Disabled and click "Stop"
The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.

MR_5_MR, You get the service packs from Windows Update, but you don't need them to fix this (although they are important and you should get them anyway)

What those are are something called NET SEND alerts, which are alerts you can send to other people on your network. However what spammers do is send them to different IPs and make them out like offical windows alerts, but they're not.

Stop 'Messenger' or 'Messenger Service' or whatever it's named in that list segosa gave you, as it is the service that listens for those alerts and shows them when you get one.

ya i did it and they havnt popped up yet...but i do really need the service packs and last time i tried windows update i did that activex control thing and it just freezes...

ok well nvm about that active X freezing...im just too impatient but i got service pack 4 on the computer so i think thats about all the updating i need to do but the automatic updates, unless yall know of somthing else.
