Outlook XP Slow after Messenger is disabled

Administrator Neowin · with -1 comments

When you choose to disable Windows Messenger to start and disable run in background, Outlook XP get very slow. It seems to check messenger.

To fix this rename c:program filesmessenger folder to like c:program filesmessenger.OFF

Now I can run MSN Messenger 5.0 and not run Windows Messenger 4.7 without slowing Outlook.

You can also remove Windows Messenger from winXP: type this command "RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%INFmsmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove" without quotes.
