I continuously get these popups in grey boxes that say Windows Messenger at the top. As I understand it, these popups come up because of the implemented version of Windows Messenger in Windows XP. Is there a way to get rid of these annoying popups without having to buy some stupid popup blocker that costs an arm and a leg?

Howdy Kalena:

Try this..

First, click on Start Run Type services.msc /s in the Run box and click OK, Services Panel will appear.

When the Services Panel opens, you will see a list of services on the right side. Go to the service that says Messenger and highlight.

Right click the highlighted line and choose Properties.

Click on Stop in the Messenger Properties window.

Now, click on the down arrow for Startup type and select Manual or Disable.

Click on OK and close the Services Panel.
