delete versions of Windows messenger 5 & 6.2 if I have version 7? I actual have 2 v7s 1 06/03/2005 and another dated 01/08/2005

Add and remove programs I see sometimes older versions of programs and I don't know if they can be deleted or if the latest version requires the presence of the old version works fine.

  • Basics of Windows Messenger

    I have a new guy silly question regarding Windows Messenger on my XP Tablet. I Messenger defined in preferences to run Windows Messenger when Windows starts, but it is not that. After that my office is done loading, I have to click the Windows Messenger icon in the all programs list (it is not an icon in the taskbar near the clock) and then I have to click to connect. All items are checked in the Preferences tab.

    So why didn't it starts itself when I connect Windows (I am the only user on this pc) and why is it automatically connect me?

    Have you tried going to the preferences and by unchecking the box, restart the system and then go to connect and preferences, and then select the check box and restart. It could be that it just didn't register. You also have to get automatically in to make sure that both boxes ticked on the first page. Remember me and remember my password.

  • Satellite A100 freezes after Windows messenger installation

    Hello

    I downloaded a new version of Windows messenger, shortly after I received this message from Dr watson postmortem debugger.
    I have never seen anything like this before.
    When I went to check the details of what the model froze, I used cont alt + del and end of the task came.
    The only thing I could do was turn he took not stop it's frozen, I tried again and I get the toshiba screen then a few minutes loading desktop icons.
    The icons disappear so that they appear again, it won't let me do anything anyone can help, thanks a lot.

    Hello

    It seems that the Microsoft Messenger is responsible of this gel! Dr. Watson appears because this is a debugger for Microsoft Windows.
    If Dr. Watson is running and a Windows application crashes, Dr. Watson creates a report containing technical information that can help developers to determine what caused the application to crash.

    You talk like a beginner with internal Windows not much experience. If you are not able to start the operating system in the right order, I advise to use the recovery CD Toshiba for the new installation of the OS. This should help you to restart the laptop.

  • Windows Messenger appears in Sys tray, but it is not installed

    The subject line pretty much captures the issue. From Add/Remove Programs-> Windows components, it is clear that Windows Messenger is not checked and therefore SHOULD not be installed on startup, even it it is in the system tray.

    System:

    Sony Vaio w / Intel Pentium

    WinXP w/SP3 and all updates

    Messenger does not exist in Program files, or anywhere in the start menu for that matter. To open it from the Systray and go through all the Options, I can't find any switch to prevent it from running.

    Use the Regedit and deleted under HKLM/software/microsoft/currentversion/run.

    Messenger out of the Systray and removed Messenger Program Files folder.

    I have installed Windows XP system. I could not configure windows messenger to communicate with my colleagues. When I checked the tools-> Options-> tab accounts, I couldn't find the account of SIP communications service with which others have configured their Messenger.
    Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    Windows Messenger 5.1 is no longer available. You can see that if your company has only the version that you can download from all your colleagues are using this version.

    Or you can download MSN Messenger 7.0

  • Is signed in to Windows Messenger message on each reboot of Windows XP.

    Original title: problem connecting Windows Messenger.

    I am constantly (maybe not always) get a connection on the front of Windows Messenger message as my Windows XP Tablet starts and I'm connected to Windows. Then, I need to fill my username and passwords (again - not always) and I always check the box to remember such things. It stores this kind of things like a cookie that is erase my cCleaner or something? Why that often? I'm sick of it and considering only using my Yahoo Messenger, that always records me automatically at startup.

    Windows Messenger seems to work fine now. I just disconnected from Windows then recorded on twice, and it connects to Windows Messenger on its own well. I need to go to file > disconnect, then file > sign in during all windows connect to prevent show the signature in the thing forever. If I did these two steps, it would always be quickly connect.

    Also... don't know why you say cCleaner deletes passwords. Mine does not work. If I want to erase the passwords, I needed to:

    To delete information from Internet Explorer, click on tools > Internet Options. Select the content tab, and then click AutoComplete > settings. Uncheck the user names and passwords on forms, so it will not save those ever. Click on AutoComplete delete history... Now click on the history button to AutoComplete to remove. Check all of the boxes on the next window that you want to remove, and then click on delete - maybe not forms and browsing history

    But now I have this feature disabled, I use the password Omnipass software that uses fingerprint for me my reader to log on Windows, and then save the usernames and passwords for all sites. Is a system much better, because it will allow me to see the names of registered users & passwords after proving my identity with a shot of fingerprints. It will also allow me to delete only a single username / password entry if I need to change it, without destroying all others. Also, I can choose to disconnect Omnipass at any time so that the usernames & passwords don't fill up, if I need to temporarily circumvent this.

  • Delete files in Windows 7

    Cannot delete certain files/folders with Windows 7, cannot move permissions to TrustedInstaller to administrator, any ideas.

    So, please answer the question: what is a simple way for us to delete files protected in W7?

    Hi Bob

    The system files in Windows 7 is much more complex than previous versions of Windows.

    There are a lot of files/folders that if they are deleted could render the system unusable.

    It would be completely irresponsible automatically assume that any user is an advanced expert and he understands the consequences of deleting a critical file or folder. That's why we need to know the name and the location of the files/folders involved before posting any information on the withdrawal of their.

    With W7, I can't install IE9 on the laptop from a friend, because IE8 files in the system that I can't "Uninstall" for a reason; It does not appear on the list of the programs and features Control Panel to uninstall.

    For your problem with IE8, please ask your question in the following forum.
