hmmm ok so ur old one is still installed somehow. doesnt mean that because ur new one is started that its online, so now im pretty sure that i was right...let me doublecheck a way to uninstall the old msn permanently and ill get back to ya. once its uninstalled ur new one should b fine

Is MSN messenger or Windows Messenger? Windows Messenger is a very old version that is installed on some older PC/laptops.

If so I asked on another forum and this worked for me:

Quote:

Click Start.
Click Run.
In the open box type RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
Click Ok.
