This Is Driving Me Insane!(messenger)

Hey guys. I haven't been able to access my hotmail account for some time. Tired of waiting I decided to uninstall messenger and then reinstall. As far as I know the old address is gone, but I can't remove it from the sign in. Any ideas how to do this?

As well, in the drop-down list I have 4 different entries. Any ideas how to remove those as well?

Thanks.

uninstall MSN messenger and reinstall it.

OR, you could try this it should work:

open up IE and go to Tools > internet options

now, click on Temporary internet files: [Delete files]

Then below that click [Clear history]

did that clear it? (it works on the run shell)

if not try this:

in IE go to Tools > internet options again.

click the Content tab.

then click the Auto Complete button, hit Clear passwords and also Clear Forms

Still not work?

in MSN messenger go to the Help tab, then click About MSN messenger

What version of MSN messenger are you using?

Hey FthrJACK, thanks for your quick reply. I did uninstall messenger last night. Then I reinstalled but it's not the same. Now I have msn messenger (before it was just messenger), but even after a reinstall the old e-mail is still there. I tried clearing everything you suggested but still no go. So now I tried to uninstall again and it states I don't have messenger installed (which I think is because I now have "msn" messenger (2 different programs? I'm assuming.) I don't know, I'm confused!!

BTW I don't use auto complete and I clear that stuff all the time. The version of messenger is 5.0.

Does any of that make sense to you?

uninstall messenger by going to Start > run and in the run box put in this:

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

it will remove messenger, also you should uninstall MSN messenger, then go to C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\

delete that folder (after uninstalling it)

now install MSN and all the old mails etc should be gone.
