What the crap?

Are these like grey boxes that appear on the screen?

Try this:
Start > Run
Type MSConfig
Click "Services"
Look for a listing called "Messenger" (or maybe MS Messenger)
Make sure the box for it isn't checked.
Click apply.

I wouldnt use msconfig to disable services. I have talked to a few people and have found that it can somewhat fug up the system. Instead if you want to disable the messenger service (not msn messenger, you can still go to msconfig for that), go to control panel ->administrative tools ->services. Look for messenger, right click on it and select properties, and in the drop down menu select disable and apply the changes. That should solve the random pop ups that you might have been getting.
That's were I meant to go. It's been a while since I dealt with that problem.
