Try the following:
1. Click on My Computer and open the control panel.

2. Open the Performance and Maintenance or
    Administrative Tools.

3. Double-click on Services, and scroll down to Messenger.

4. Double-click Messenger and click the Stop button
    which will stop the service.

5. Change the startup type to Disable.....no more
    Messenger popups. This NOT MSN Instant Message service
    called Windows Messenger but this IS a component part
of
    Windows XP only for Network Administrators to send
    broadcast messages to network users.

This should be a fix!
