did you read the thread I linked to? If you disable the service, it will not work. Try renaming the folder like it says in the link.

reboot your computer. Then navigate to the folder called "messenger". Rename to something like "messengerOLD" or something similar. Then delete that folder.

Should take care of it.

You should be able to disable Messenger service after you stop it. I run Win2k Pro and that's what I had to do to stop those annoying ads exploiting the Messenger Service.
