Computer users, bloggers and PC security experts are well aware of the many incompatibility issues of downloadable programs, applications and freeware with Windows Vista. MSN Messenger and Yahoo Messenger users face issues such as sign-in errors, uploading of friends' lists, and sudden crashing of Messenger. If the currently installed version of MSN Messenger keeps giving you problems, then it is recommended that you remove MSN Messenger from your computer before reinstalling it again. Removing MSN Messenger from your laptop or desktop involves a few simple steps.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Desktop/Laptop
  1. Step 1

    Click the "Start Menu" button located on the left bottom of the task bar of your computer.

  2. Step 2

    Scroll to "Control Panel" and click on it.

  3. Step 3

    Click on the "Uninstall a Program" link under Programs from the list of control menus or features displayed on the Control Panel window.

  4. Step 4

    Scroll down to "MSN Messenger" from the list of programs which open up. Select it. Right-click on "MSN Messenger". Click "Uninstall" from the list of options "Uninstall, Change or Repair" displayed on the pop-out window.

  5. Step 5

    Click "Yes" once you are prompted with the command "Are you sure you want to uninstall MSN Messenger?" Wait. A window opens up and a number of operations keep running. Say yes to all operations, if asked. Uninstalling MSN Messenger will take a few minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Restart the computer just to ensure that the operation has been conducted successfully.
