IT Queries: Computer problems answered

How can I deal with 2 dialogue boxes? one must be answered before the programs start going. One is called Win Messenger. “A new version is available you must install….etc….yes or no.. later.”

I never use messenger. I wondered if the box is suspicious. I can’t even dload it properly if I answer yes. Can I remove it?

Secondly is a check if a camera is connected. I set out to remove that camera as a hardware item but it always returns.
I did a restore but it didn’t go back before the messenger arrived.

Both of these problems are related to startup programs, they are starting with the system so the first step is to stop them doing this.

Open the Microsoft System Configuration tool and look in the startup tab for Windows Messenger and any camera or imaging software. Take the ticks off any relevant programs you find.

Removing messenger is a pain. PC Hell has the full instructions on removing it and stopping it from slowing your machine.
