rod03801: You have probably tried this but just in case, go to start then run then type in MSCONFIG click ok this opens a box, look for startup in the menue at the top click on that then look for msmsgs, if that box is checked uncheck it, that is how I stopped mine starting up each time. It says msn but mine is windows too. If it don,t work the first time do it a few times and let the pc reboot.
