How do I remove old version on msn messenger?

[pmcarro]

I upgraded msn messenger to 7.0. I diabled it at start up.
But... for some reason the older version is still on there and I'll get an instant message on the old version- but it doesn't say I'm online! How do I remove the old version. It doesn't say it's there in add/remove software.
thanks in advance

You can run this, it might remove the new version, but worth a try.

open up a run box and past this in it.

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

Try the method for MSN outlined in the first article.

Okay, but I want to remove the old messenger not the new. When I log off I want to stay off. It seems like I"m still on with the earlier version but don't know it.

Hi all i done was downloaded msn messenger 7.0 and it uninsalled the old version on its own.

The easiest way might just be to remove all versions of Messenger then re-install the correct one.

When I intstalled 7 in did unistall it(supposedly).
And the control panel doesn't say the earlier version is there.
So, where do I go manually to find it?

Anything in Program Files?

Hi it should of been in Add/Remove if was not then the only way to do it now is, remove all traces of msn in programs add/remove, go to search and type in msn, remove all traces of it, then go to msn website and download the toolbar and the new messnger 7.0
