Can't turn off Instant Messaging Provider
« on: October 08, 2003, 06:07:57 AM »
Okay, I don't really need the instant messaging provider.  I switch it off and select yes when asked to persist and after reboot the IM provider is back on.  Is this a problem?

I'm updated to v280.  I can't keep that IM provider off even when selecting to yes to persist changes.  Upon reboot it is on again.

Man, you aren't going to believe this but I tried the following.  I disabled the IM provider again after reboot and selected YES to persist the change.  Then I started the IM provider and selected YES to persist the change.  I then rebooted the machine and now the IM provider is off.  I'm not kidding.  Do you guys have the switches for this thing reversed? ::)

Hmm, intresting indeed. Anyway, if you just want to disable the IM thing for good, you can just uinstall it - it's no possible via the Add/Remove Programs feature in Control Panel (click avast and select Change).

BTW, Culperer, would you mind narrowing your 'fetch doggie' lady picture a few pixels? It's preventing your posts from being displayed properly (at least on my machine).

Thanks,
Vlk

Okay, I'll make her smaller.  Don't you like her?  She's delivering you a message?
