Ok so I used a win hack to get messenger to stop loading with outlook express. I think it was xptuneup or magictweak I forget , one of those.

Now MS Messenger will not load, ever! There are no options in those tweak progs to reverse this problem.

I reinstalled messenger, still no loading.
I would try deleting outlook but figured I would ask here first before dealing with that irritating situation.

I dont want to use ICQ or AIM anymore because they fraggin suck ass, msn is the best now. Help!

Any ideas, you geeks and gurus?

ps I have also tried renaming the folder ms messenger is located in, still no working.

In Outlook options you can disable connecting to MSN while starting Outlook up. The MSN messenger icon will actually still appear on your taskbar, but it'll dissappear when you've closed Outlook.

I hope this all goes for Microsoft Outlook, Outlook XP and Outlook Express.

edit: so you should reinstall both MSN and Outlook, and you SHOULD be fine.....
