Windows Messenger can be a pain in the rear if you have it installed on your computer. Click on "Start", then on "Run...", type "gpedit.msc" (without the quotation marks) and hit the "Enter" key.
Under Local Settings, look for "Computer Configuration", "Administrative Templates", "Windows Components", "Windows Messenger". Check the options for "Enable", since it says to NOT start Windows Messenger. Also, do the same under "User Configuration", "Administrative Templates", "Windows Components", "Windows Messenger".
The second part is to go to "Control Panel" ("Start", "Control Panel" or "Start", "Settings", "Control Panel"), "Add/Remove Programs", on the left, click on "Windows Components" and uncheck "MSN Explorer and "Windows Messenger" (scroll all the way down). Finally, click on "OK", I think it is.
The third and last part is to click on "Start", "Run...", type "services.msc" (without the quotation marks) and then hit the "Enter" key. Look for "Windows Messenger" and, if not "Disabled", double click on it, change it from "Automatic" to "Disabled" and then on "Stop".
That should get rid of the Windows Messenger completely.
Note: In Windows Vista or 7, I think that Windows Messenger was replaced by Windows Live Messenger or something else. There is no "Run...", but the small bar that appears above the "Start" button, when you click it, that asks to "Enter Search Term" or something like that.
