    I made a post about half a year ago regarding this. However, when you try and search there is a database problem. So when its up and running, try and find it

    WinXP SP1 should allow ytou to uninstall things that come included (thats for the US justice dept.)

    WinXP SP1 isnt out yet, or at least not officially. Try searching for it, a few FTP sites have it for download.

    Once its out, i suspect windowsupdate.microsoft.com will have it.

    Just delete the registry entry that starts it
    IIRC, it'll be in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\run somewhere.

    Get these: Mozilla Opera OpenBSD
    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.

    Umm I can remove it from the stupid sys startup, but the thing is that it comes up again whenever you go to hotmail.com. MONOPOLY!!!!

    well I use MSN too the thing is that I dont like the damn stupid program to "run by itself" like a stupid popup whenever I go to hotmail..... I use trillian to talk to people on MSN and so I dont really like to use the MSN Messenger.... that's why it was really annoying

    thanks again nabeels786
