HI Yvonne; I just played around with a computer & this is what I found. Do the following. 1. Press the windows key to open the start menu. 2. Press the letter P, for all programs. 3. Press the letter W, until you land on Windows Messenger, & press enter. 4. Press Alt + T, for tools, & Press the letter O, for options. 5. When options opens, you should be on the personal page. 6. Control + tab, 2 times, or, right arrow 2 times, to the Preferences tab. 7. Tab 1 time and there should be something saying Run windows messenger when windows starts, this box should be unchecked, if it isn't, press the spacebar to uncheck it. 8. Tab 1 more time & there should be something saying, allow Windows Messenger to run in the background, if this box is checked press the spacebar to uncheck it. 9. Now tab to okay & press enter. You're done.
Whenever you do Microsoft updates be careful not to install Windows Messenger or Windows Live Messenger updates. If you do, this might turn Windows Messenger / Windows Live Messenger back on again. In case this happens save these steps somewhere so you will have them handy if you need to turn it off again. Hope this helps. Take care.
