Help!! Removing Disc Images

I downloaded this program called "messenger for mac" so when i downloaded it something poped up as a "disk image" so when ever i open messenger for mac that disk image pops up, how do i get rid of it? its making me so mad... i also moved it into my application folder and it still does it (when i moved it into my applications folder, it showed a little black arrow, which i think is a copy of the original)(i want the original in the applications folder)

if someone could tell me that would be great!! im geting sooooooooooooo mad at this

Take a look at this Sticky thread:

Mac-Forums Switchers FAQ

...should clear up quite a few things for you.

what topic do i go to in the sticky thread?

Sounds like you have not installed the program to Applications. Have a look there and see if it is installed. If not, double click the .dmg image which should expand, drag the program's icon to the Application folder. You can then trash the .dmg image.

Open Applications, and drag the Messenger icon to the Dock so you have an alias there to open the program .

it wont let me trash it, only eject

Yes!!!!!! It Worked!!!!! Thanks So Much Harryb2448!!!!!!!!!!

Click to expand...

Which is the same information located here in the Sticky Thread.

I honestly believe, with all due respect, that all new mac users should be directed to all stickies and read them BEFORE being able to post...

Just my 2 cents worth...

I hang out at the switchers site to help people and 90% of the time they all ask the same questions...
