Hi.....boy I sure hope I can get help here. I just
upgraded to Wxp and I am currently using the latest
versions of MSN Messenger outlook express. OK....I have
messenger open and when I open outlook express it opens
another OLDER version messenger. Now I have messenger
opened twice and 2 different versions. I would like to
know how to rectify this problem so that it recognizes
that I have messanger open already.
Another problem I am having is with my printing options.
Before I installed XP, I could set my printer to print
in "ECONO FAST"and in "GREY SCALE. Now I can't set the
printer up to do this. Please advise. Your help with
this problem is very much appreciated. I look forward to
hearing from you

Hi,

OE launches Windows Messenger, which is different from MSN Messenger. I
think the best possible solution is to get rid of Windows Messenger by
uninstalling it. You can uninstall Windows Messenger by typing the following
at Start >> Run

rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection BLC.Remove 128
%systemRoot%\INF\msmsgs.inf

MSN Messenger has all the features of Windows Messenger plus extra features
which are not available in Windows Messenger.
