Help With Msn/windows

[Aaaaaaaa]

I need some help; dont know where else to put this.

Well i installled windows messenger in C:\program files, and now i want to uninstall it.

But it wont let me. when i try, it says "Invalid drive E:" Even though its not installed there.

I did have a drive E:, but i partitioned it and now its merged with my F: drive.

What should I do?

I'd leave it there...

I think it is very difficult to remove it any other way ie. the registery.
Maybe reinstalling it and then uninstalling it might work.

It is only a couple of Megabytes big anyway.

nopt, it wont let me uninstall it atall.

And i _need_ to remove it.

You see, the new beta has come out, and it wont let me log in till ive upgraded.

And it wont let me upgrade cos it gives me the same error.

How do u remove it using the registry or whatever?

reformatting will only mean msn will come back when u reinstall windows since it is installed as u install windows xp

just leave it there, i have the old version and the beta on my computer
