for the last two days everytime i open outlook express I get a messenger update popup and I can find no way to turn it off. I do not use messenger so I just need info on how to disable it also since i got explorer updates my scroll bar is messed up. I click it now and it goes down almost two pages, instead of the one page it used to. The solutions may be simple but I cannot find them
As far as the Messenger problem, open Outlook Express/Tools/Options/General tab and uncheck Automatically logon to Windows Messenger, click Apply, click OK.
