how to stop goddamn msn from flashing all the time

anyone knows how to stop msn popping out flashing stuff in the taskbar everytime someone comes to talk to you? it's annoying as hell, and i can't disable it in the preferences.

i've been told it's probably a windows thing, not a msn thing, all i found in google was some obscure details about the registry but no real instructions to how to disable that thing

help please. thanks

I belive theres a setting in Tweak UI (freebie from ms, do a search on their site) that has a setting preventing a application from flashing the taskbar, but i dont have a copy to hand so i cant check

nice tip.. but that seems to work only in enlgish language versions of windows :\

Ive just downloaded Tweak UI and the option i was thinking of is there, its a shame it only supports english language though.

could you not try changing the reginal setting to us-english (reginonal settings are in controll pannel) run tweakui then change the regional setting back to its original setting?
