touchstone Posted January 22, 2002 Author Share Posted January 22, 2002 And you know what I cannot even log into Hotmail through hotmail.com because the first time the same Wizard popped up. I cancelled it. And now when I resubmit the login page, an error page comes up.:-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewdatrip Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Try using Trillin http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/they integrate several chat programs into one. Its skinable,eats up very little resources and is just NICE!-drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchstone Posted January 26, 2002 Author Share Posted January 26, 2002 I have two accounts1. Administrator with another name2. GuestAnd I didn't know why Messenger sign in stopped throwing the .NET Wizard popups but I was glad and signed in.Now in the Control Panel -> User Accounts I see this command alongside my account settings."Change my .NET Passport"which means .NET Passport has been enabled with my computer account.:-(How to remove it?Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewdatrip Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 Im not to sure what you want to do...Do you want to remove MSN messenger? or just change the account that you login to for msn?Can you plz clarify what you mean? thankx:cool: -drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchstone Posted January 26, 2002 Author Share Posted January 26, 2002 Hmm I don't want to remove the account. I want the .NET Passport associated with the account removed, only. Like I just want to use Windows Messenger to log into the Messenger server so I can talk with my friends or at best click on the square popups to go read emails.I don't want what the official documents say "automatic login to .NET enabled Web sites and Web services..."Thanks and regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 I'm not an MSN Messenger user but what you are asking for seems like quite a tall order. The whole point of Microsoft's new messenger is to incorporate everything with .NET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewdatrip Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 As far as i know, if you have MSN messenger installed and you goto a .net enabled site....it will login, i dont think there is a way around this. Heres an idea remove it using this links methods http://xp.modrica.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=74Then use a program called trillian found here-http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/, which uses the msn chat program as well as yahoo,aim,icq,and irc. With out msn messenger on your system the sites with .net enabled will not auto log you in..but you will still be able to chat with your friends and you will get the nice little email notification:beer-drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

touchstone Posted January 26, 2002 Author Share Posted January 26, 2002 If I remember correctly there are some sites that allow you to talk to your MSN buddies without MSN Messenger installed on your PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
