Hi,
Oh, one other thing. Once everything is setup, open up any Messenger window, press the Alt
key on the keyboard to bring up the menu bar, choose the Tools menu, then Options, then Sign
In (or General, in a previous version) category, then uncheck the 'Automatically run Windows
Live Messenger with Windows', and click OK.
