I know Windows xp comes with windows messenger preinstalled, so I downloaded and ran "shoot the messenger" a program by steve gibson. I then downloaded msn messenger and use that. msn messenger doesnt run until I sign in which isnt automatic. Windows messenger is defintely disabled yet a mate of mine started sending me messages before I`d signed into msn messenger. The messages were coming through on the windows messenger chat box, even though its disabled. Any help with this is appreciated.
