Hi
WinXP Pro computer.
I am receiving a notification about an update for Windows Messenger (not the messenger service). A dialog box opens when I access the internet, with Windows Messenger as the title, and contains the text “A newer version is available. You must install the newer version in order to continue. Would you like to do this now?” and there is a yes/no radio button, and OK / What’s New… Clicking the What’s New… option takes me to Microsoft’s site, but to a page saying there is “..no Microsoft.com page matching your entry”
Now, I have never used Windows Messenger and I uninstalled it when I first got this computer. This seems a bit strange, as surely Windows Messenger would need to be installed and be configured to actively look for updates in order for this message to appear. This started last week, and has never happened before. The only thing I had done just before this started was to install then uninstall SP2.
Does anyone know what’s going on?
