I know its suppose to go away after loggin in and out 5 times... But its not anyway to force it to quit?

No, i dont think so, and its only a peice of text it cant annoy you that much.

I remember reading somewhere that you could change the text that appears, but I'm unsure what you have to do exactly, if I find anything I will update this post.

EDIT:  from a quick google search and a look at my registry, it seems that microsoft do not keep this as a registry setting anymore and you would probably have to patch a dll.  I hope someone else can help you with this as I do not trust myself giving this kind of advice as I'm not confident about it.

I was able to open some another lang.dll and delete it but the little icon still comes up.

Just open and close a convo 5 times, and it'll stop appearing.

It still does...

See link above.

PS: Although you can't change the text anymore (not stored anymore in the registry), you still can manipulate the count.

PS2: Nub, next time try to make a more descriptive thread title.

Actually you can edit the message and I have just use resource hacker to open language dll.

See my linked post, the text was stored in the registry before, now it isn't anymore. Hence why I said you can't edit it anymore (without altering the program itself, which not everybody is able to do)
