I'm using an old OS..win98..I had msn msgr 7.0 and it kept causing the computer to shut down and (blue screen)...I tried to uninstall through settings but it kept telling me i needed a cdrom etc., I then went online and tried to download older versions from 6.0 through 7.5 the 6.0 through 7.0 kept saying I had a newer version installed..but I still could not uninstall through settings (add/remove)...when I tried 7.5 and above of course it told me I needed xp or higher...is there a solution?

Try removing MSN first by doing this:

First, make sure you have exited MSN messenger and unsinstalled any MSN Messenger related entry from Control Panel (START — > CONTROL PANEL — > ADD OR REMOVE PROGRAMS). Then, START — > RUN the following command:
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

Then, try installing an older version from here: OldVersion.com

Hi Hengis, I tried whatyou suggested and received this error msg. Error in advpack
missing entry:dll,launchINFsection. Also when I try to remove msn 7.0 in add/remove it says the feature i am trying to use is on cd-rom or other removable disk that is not available and instructs to insert msnmsgr7.0 disk.

Please close question out, since I cannot find a solution..Thanks anyway...
