To Jonathan Kay,
Although your response to my question did not solve my problem, I was able
to use your response to others and was able to solve my problem, thank you
very much. I successfully was able to unistall Windows Messenger V5.0 and
then re-install Windows Messenger V4.7. Now my Messenger contact lists
appear in my Outlook Express.
The solution was to use your suggested following command in Run :
>Here's the "code": Click the start button, then click
Run and type in (copy-paste if you
>like):
>RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
>
>Then click OK.
>Messenger will then be uninstalled. For more detailed
instructions and screenshots, go to,
