Windows Messanger Stop.

[Elijah]

how can i stop:

msmsgs.exe

i stop it on task manager, and give it bout 30 seconds it starts up again,

Just really wanna stop it, as it seems to lag me on mir, when i stop it i can do everything fine, intill bout 30 seconds later when it starts up.

Stop the Messanger service, it's in control panel > admin tools > services.

 

[Zidio]

disable it from starting up when u turn your pc on .

 

[Elijah]

Val: its called ''Messanger'' On that right, if so iv disabled it
Zidio: iv done that, still starts up :l

 

[Valerii]

Val: its called ''Messanger'' On that right, if so iv disabled it
Zidio: iv done that, still starts up :l

Yeah that's right, should stop it for you ^^.

 

[Elijah]

but it didnt, forgot to put they both didnt work ^^

Anymore idea's anyone? maybe its another program using it? and keeps making it run because it needs it?

 

[Zidio]

it lags u on mir hwo do you know its that ? lol >.<

 

[Elijah]

cos the lag stops when i stop it running, but then it automaticly starts running again in like 30 secs, so i start lagging again, just go along with that being the reason

how can i stop it then? :P

and even if it turns out not to be that, id still prefer it not running.

 

[Davyv]

find and delete it . if u need it tho just download it again may be.
worth a try.

 

[Elijah]

true, 1 sec ill go move it to desktop to see how come runs after, then just move bk if needed <3

On the service thing on administrator tools on control manager, it says its at C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs

but can i stop that or? what will it efect? and its part of a svchost, dont u need them all running?

 

[Elijah]

come on, im in a rush >.<

I dont realy know your problem, but i have msgmsgs running whilst on mir, doesnt change my 'lagg' at all, and when i close it on task manager, it stays off, so you must have something running using it (Msn Internet? Msn?)

/4fun

 

[Elijah]

on laptop it turns of and doesnt come back on, i havnt got my messanger on computer as thats been taken of, its jsut the thing on task manager, its anoying me.

and im pretty lagless with it off. not using anything i know wot'd need it :S

andmore things need it?

 

[elohelMeight]

I dont think anything else needs msn to run... (if ya didnt know msgmsgs is msn).. only way to resolve is probably to uninstall msn then...

/4fun

Side Note : i wouldnt un-install until sumbody gives ya more info on what it could be cos i dont realy know

 

[Elijah]

well, i did take this guide which was surposed to stop it EVER running, but it didnt >.<

Urban, maybe you can help when your on? iv edited registry all iv been told to do by guides, but nothings seemed to stop it, anymore help please?

i said msmsgs.exe and i believe its Windows Mesenger and is not to be confused with MSN Messenger.

you said msgmsgs.exe their totaly different

 

[Elijah]

bump, come on i need it sorted >.<

 

[Kaori]

have your comp checked for virus/spyware/etc... if you end tasked it and it comes back it's probably one of those.

 

[Dataforce]

replace C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe with an empty .exe file, thats what a friend of mine did.

msmsgs is Windows Messenger, the version of MSN that comes with windows.

----

Doesn't Outlook use it ?

 

[Ripman]

simply uninstall it....Start > Settings > Control Panel > add remove > Add/Remove windows components > at the bottom if u scroll is Windows Messenger, unncheck the box and next.

 

[Hazuki]

Or even simpler, got to the windows messenger options, and untick start when windows starts and Allow to run as background service.
