I hate windows messenger, and i reomoved it,  but now i can't use remote assistance/whiteboard/application sharing without it, any patch or plug-in can fix this? (virtual windows messenger?)

i think without windows messenger you need to install remote assistance again (as if for windows 2000) and such, go here:

here are requirements for remote assistance to work:

EDIT: you need windows messenger to use it, read sunshine's post

in the thread above read below to find a link to "CookieRevised's reply to I am about to rip my hair out over MS Messanger" to remove messenger correctly

thnx

you cannot seperately install remote assistance

you need windows messenger installed to use this but you can make windows messenger doesn't load by itself and disable it completely with some programs

you'll just need to reactivate it
