I'm having the same problem with my latest build and install of XP. In the past I've corrected the problem by unchecking the option in XP that says "allow this computer to act as a server". But for the world of me I cannot remember where I found this option at before. Start digging around your computer and maybe you'll be lucky and find it. Disabling messenger is easy. Open your start menu and select "run" from the menu. Type "msconfig". Open "startup". Un-check the box besides MSmessenger. Open up messenger, go to options, un-select the option to automatically start messenger. If your using Outlook Express you have to disable the automatically log in to windows messenger service there too.
