Hello

I just re-installed XP Pro, and for some reason I cannot get 'windows messenger' to quit
I says that another program is using it's services... But no other programs are running

I never had this problem the 1st time around when using XP Pro. Any ideas

(BTW: I also disabled the messenger service in Computer Management

Thanks in advance
Jake.
 
Greetings Jake,

Do you have Norton Antivirus installed? Recent versions of Norton Antivirus added a new
"instant messaging scanning" feature, which can conflict with Windows Messenger and cause it
to also keep starting. To stop it, open Norton Antivirus (Right-click on the Norton Antivirus
icon in the System Tray/Notification Area (by the clock), choose 'Open Norton Antivirus'),
click Options, then Instant Messenger then uncheck MSN Instant Messenger and click OK.
