It has Windows 98SE. Every time I switch on the computer a dialog box displays "Enter network password for Net Meeting". I enter the password and the boot continues. I do not use Net Meeting but I use MSN Messenger. How can I stop this dialogue box appearing every time I boot the computer? dev04

Create a new folder called "%SystemRoot%\oldinf" 2. Copy "%SystemRoot%\inf\msnetmtg.inf" to the new folder. 3. Run the following command - "%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection NetMtg.Remove 132 msnetmtg.inf" (without the quotes and case sensitive!). Netmeeting and its shortcuts/start menu entries will be removed from the system. Should it ever be necessary to re-install Netmeeting 3.01, this can be done by right clicking on "%SystemRoot%\oldinf\msnetmtg.inf" and selecting "install". Can you make sense of all of that? I can help you. If that dont work then do this: there should be a folder named net meeting in drive c/program files. Look ofr it and just delete it. Thats should remove it totally.

New Member Group: Members Posts: 12 Joined: 25-July 04 Member No.: 1,658	Thanks, it is easier for me to delete the folder as per your last paragraph. However, I would like to understand the other option to remove and reinstall if required. Item 2. Where do I copy "%SystemRoot"....." from? Item 3 I do not know how to do this. My computer knowledge is very limited.

Guests	If you don't use net meeting, uninstall it and download msn messenger. Net meeting is pretty obsolete now or becoming obsolete. Here is some pretty cut and dry Directions! http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...te/nm3rdme.mspx
