How to Remove Windows Live Messenger 2009

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Have you encounter this problem? After installing the “latest” Windows Live Messenger 2009 but wonder why always getting the error which you cannot sign in? (Unable to sign into Windows Live Messenger – Error 80004005)

With all the frustrations, thought something went wrong with the Internet connection, wrong username / password entered or even WLM’s server is down. You even click on the link provided with the error message to search through Microsoft’s Knowledge Base, followed the instructions given, yet still scratching your head with the same errors.

Okay, in the end, you gave up and wanted to uninstall the software. Wait, where’s the uninstaller? Searching through the Start menu, you even went to C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger to search for the uninstall.exe file. What? Cannot find it?

Here’s a trick I found from this useful blog:

How to uninstall Windows Live Messenger 2009 using RUN
To uninstall Windows Live Messenger, click START, then Run if using Windows XP [operating system]
then [type/copy] the following and press Enter: [it works 100%]
msiexec /x {0AAA9C97-74D4-47CE-B089-0B147EF3553C}

You will notice that the Windows Live will be removed from your “Start” > “All Programs” list.

Cavin During Week 31-33

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

His pupils can now detect light. He continues to gain weight. The layer of soft, downy hair that has covered his skin for the past few months – also known as lanugo – starts to fall off.

Last night rained heavily with strong thunders and lightnings. I was awake from sleeping when I heard the loud thunder, so did Cavin. He moved vigorously as he wanted to escape from my belly. I guess he was shocked too. Comforting him with my touches on belly calmed him.

Cavin, don’t be afraid. Mom and dad will always be with you. Just stay in mommy’s womb for another 8-9 weeks until you can see and feel the world yourself. Love, mom.

“Packet Data : Connection Not Allowed” Error on Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

I just bought a new Nokia 5800 XpressMusic last night and was happily playing with it. Everything’s good except I found out that I couldn’t use the Internet/WAP/MMS settings to browse webpages using my new baby.

At first, I thought something wrong with the settings so I went to Maxis website to request for phone setting. After saving the settings that was sent by Maxis via SMS, I got the error message: “Packet Data: Connection not allowed”. Wondering what was happening, I called Maxis Hotline (123). After listening to the detailed recorded instructions, the operator brought me to something like request for phone setting. There came again another phone setting SMS…

Still wondering what was happening, I gave up calling Maxis again and then searched through Google for this error. Viola! I found this very useful blog that saved me a lot of time!

The step-by-step instructions are applicable for Nokia N95. So I’ll just list down the steps for Nokia 5800 XpressMusic:

Prerequisite: Phone settings are acquired and saved. (Follow the instruction on Maxis website to save the settings)

  1. Press the Menu key.
  2. Go to Settings -> Connectivity.
  3. Scroll to the lowest part of the menu and select Admin. settings.
  4. Select APN control.
  5. The phone will now check on the SIM Card settings and found out that the Connection Restrictions are active.
  6. Select Options -> Deactivate restrictions.
  7. It’ll now prompt for PIN2, key in “1234“.
  8. The phone will tell you that your Connection Restrictions now are inactive.
  9. Restart your phone.
  10. Open up a champagne and surf the Internet / send MMS messages with your phone.
