I've just got this pop up ad, and boy did it make me chuckle

Makes you wander why they do it

Enjoy

They should be shot, then burn in hell for all eternity

btw, you can dissable that messager service

Ever since ad agencies discovered how to use the built in messenger service that windows uses to inform you of needed updates, ect. for their own purposes using the computer on the internet has become more of a pain. Microsoft defaults it on for their own purposes. If you would wish to recieve no more of these then disable the service.

Please, oh PLEASE tell me how to turn off that infernal feature!

wet1 is that the same feature that alows sciforums to send that message if you get a PM?

I know I can get rid of it, but it's funny to read some of them, especially that one

Control Panel>Preformance and Maintenance>Administrative Tools>Services>Messenger

Double click on Messenger, under General Tab midway down, select disabled in startup type. Then Apply and Ok.

does that stop sciforums sending the message saying "you have a new PM"

Sorry Asguard, I missed you. No it does not stop that. What we are talking of is a big grey box that pops up in the middle of your screen, floating on top of everything. It is most annoying when you are doing something and have to get rid of this message. Even after you are off the internet, at odd intervals it will continue to pop back up once it has loaded it message. I resent the fact that they have stolen my bandwidth to do this with and that causes my surfing to crawl till this message I don't want is d/led to the computer to pest me with ads for some service I didn't want in the first place. Futher, never did they ask permission to do so.

I do not know how to disable it. Can you tell me how?

lol @ silly ad :D

Btw, that is a super shot you have as bg there, Thor. Where is that? Is it time-lapse? And why all the distortions, those green lines across the pic?

THANKYOU for telling me how to get rid of those damn things!!!!

Blue:

It is a shot of somewhere I have no idea where. It is no longer my desktop wallpaper but I shall find the link as I have forgotten to save the damn file into my hard drive :mad:

The weird lines going across was just something messing up while uploading

Ah crap, I can't find it. I'll look on my Hard drive and e-mail it to you

Ok, thanks :)

Actually, e-mailing it is a bad idea. The pictures I send recently have been corrupted

I'll have to send it to you on MSN when you're on next.

I would put it up on her, but it's just a smidge too big :(

Doh! Here I am asking for somthing I should have seen to start with.

Thanks Wet1
