Go into the old messenger folder in c:\windows\program files and rename the
old launch exe of msn to something else.

My last post gave wrong path.
c:\program files\messenger and rename the exe to something else. The main
exe is the one with the messenger icon. Just rename it to anything you like.
It should stop it from starting up. Sometimes it may come back after a
windows update.

That is such a kludge

My suggestion
- remove the old/original Messenger before installing the new one

So
1) uninstall 7.5 (Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs)
2) uninstall the original version (Control Panel -> Add/Remove
Programs -> Add/Remove Windows components -> untick
3) also check out these

4) then re-install the latest version

Fiddly, but tidy.

Paul if you installed 7.5 and had 7.0 installed it would just update
it.

messenger 7.5 if that is so then do what i posted in the first message.
