Help Having trouble with Handcent and the default Messages program

[SamuraiEAC]

I installed Handcent because of the battery drain issue, and like it a lot, but now I can not turn off the OEM Messages program. I tried going into the Settings>Applications>Manage Applications to turn it off, and it doesn't work. I also did the "Use Handcent as default SMS" when that box first pops up. I get two different ringtone notifications too... although I switched the ringer to the same one both through the phone's settings and through Handcent's settings...

open up the htc messaging by going to all programs>messaging>Menu>Settings> uncheck "auto retrieve" and "notifications"

hope this helps.
