*bangs head* ow X_X;

XP users should know this annoyance. It's called Messenger Service and pops up with a load of crap :l

PLease someone tell me how to disabled it, I forgot dammit...

See screenshot

What the? Is that just like a little program error, or does it say that when you start windows up :S

[Judgment]

Oooh i had that. I cant remember how i got rid of it now :S

[Serpent7]

Oh! Yeah! That's great! That's what I used to spam every computer in the school, except I put the command in a loop!


Anyway, to turn it off, make sure you're the administrator, and do the following:

--- Start/Run OR Start/Execute
--- Type services.msc, click OK
--- In the services window, find the service named messenger, stop it.


Alternatively, the uber leet haxor way to make your friends go " :O " is to go to Start/Run OR Start/Execute, type cmd, and in the command prompt, type NET STOP Messenger.

Hope that solves it?

Thanks Serphy, you're a life saver

Stupid thing kept minimizing warcraft

Oh btw, notice anything odd about this screenshot? Look at the images! MY computer is a bit squished. Help ;;

[Serpent7]

Don't see anything about the images, but no probs for the Messenger majig. Always here when you need a geek!

Btw, you ought to check for some kind of spyware/adware, because that to me looks like an advert. It might do to search all *.bat files for the words NET SEND in, and check 'em out.

See the screenshot link below if I've confused you!

(Btw, the two files my PC found are my own, the first being my net diagnostics check, and the second the virus I used at school!)

never has happened to me . Good to know how to fix it though if it comes up.

[Ria]

Gah what the crap, it's back as soon as I restarted the comp!

That screenie has me on it ^_^ Yoshi p0wah!

...wait are you calling me odd? :S


I have lots of adware on my computer and its VERY annoying. Would i just look for .bat files, and delete any i find?

[Dark Imakuni]

I don't have that problem (sorry for bragging).

I have AVG Anti Virus and Ad-Aware installed and so far I haven't had any problems...

Maybe it's something to do with AOL?
