Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help. I am using Window Vista. I am unable to uninstall Window Live Messenger (latest version). I go to control panel, under program, I saw those with window live xxx and i remove it but i cant uninstall/change window live essentials and i cant find the Window Live Messenger there. I exit the icon that appear at the bottom of the screen. I even remove it from the program. But after i restart the PC, Window Live Messenger appears again. Anyone able to help? Thanks in advance.

Regards

I had the same problem with Windows Live Messenger 2009. First when I told it not to Start with Windows it would continue to Start. Then I couldn't find how to uninstall it. Online I found that if you select run and copy and paste the following it will uninstall, this worked on my Vista 64bit version: msiexec /x {0AAA9C97-74D4-47CE-B089-0B147EF3553C}

Hi,

I am able to uninstall msn...

1) go to msn.com to install one of the application, eg MSN toolbar (as i have previously deleted the rest of the application starting with window live xxx so i have to install 1 of the function back)

2) Go to control panel >> program >> select window live essential

3) right click and choose uninstall/change

4) follow the steps and you will be able to remove window live messenger

:)
