Yuna_Firerose Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 Does anyone know how to shut it off? Hopefully other Windows XP users will know what I'm talking about. This "Messenger Service" are popups that well, erm, pop-up randomly and they're quite annoying. If they were internet popups, I wouldn't have a problem, but these aren't. On the installed program list, there's no program titled "Messenger Service", and thus, I can't uninstall it. Well, anyway, back to my original sentence... is there any way to get rid of them?
The Dames Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 For Windows 2000 and XP * Go to start and click Run * Type services.msc * Double-click on Messenger. * In the Messenger Properties window, select Stop, then choose Disable as the Startup Type. * Click OK. Dames
Guest I'm That Damn Zzzzz Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 Or download Shoot the Messenger.
The Dames Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 I noticed the hypocrisy of those messenges early enough. The ads talk about "if you don't want to receive these pop ups anymore, go here and download such as such." But as long as you do what I said up there...you don't need to do that or pay for a pop up killer. Dames
