Search Enhancement Pack window popups on startup

[Anas]

hello friends,

Whenever I start my computer, the Windows Live Messenger popups on startup for which I have kept the setting which is OK. But along with it, the "Search Enhancement Pack" window pops up for no reason. This happens on every start up. what is this happening ? can anyone please suggest me on how to disable or remove this search enhancement pack window .....

The Search Enhancement Pack is a part of the Live toolbar, not the
Messenger.

You can try removing this Pack by -
- click Start
- select Run
- type the following:msiexec /x {299CF645-48C7-4FA1-8BCD-5CE200CF180D}
- click OK.

The search enhancement pack is not really needed. You can disable it if you want by applying the steps mentioned in the above post. However, this folder doesn't cause any harm to your system. you just need to cancel once it appears....

You can also find this Search Enhancement Pack folder in the Program files > Microsoft and uninstall from there.....very simple

I did as suggested. Could not delete.

Received the following message: cannot delete access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use.

Makes me wonder if the program is running in the background all the time.

Download and use Unlocker software to delete the files which gives this kind of error. Download here.

This one works all the time:
TO REMOVE: "Search Enhancement Pack"
Window upon boot-up.


1. Go to C:/Program Files/Microsoft/Search
Enhancement Pack
2. Look for a file named "Seaport.exe" and change it
to "Seaport old.exe" and delete all files in this
folder.
3. Delete all programs "Windows Live Messenger" in
Control Panel/Add Remove Programs. Restart
Computer.
4. If "Search Enhancement Pack" windows does not
appear upon boot-up, then re-install Windows
Live Messenger. (latest version)
