warning when I sign on

[Leo Kerner]

when i sign on to messenger after entering windows xp, I get a message
telling me something like "you have been signed off messanger because
you are loggen on in another computer". What's up? What computer?

Also, I am supposed to be logged in when I enter windows (although I
canot find where that is right now) and it was thus till the previous
problem showed up- now I have to log in manually.

Help welcome...

1. Means you either have another profile running your user
name/password/passport or on another system.
2. In Messenger/Tools/Options/Preferences.

Thanks.
1. How do I find out?
2. Yes, I see. It's set to run when I enter windows.

A response to 1 might allow me to fix the problem?

1. Do you have a computer at work that you left on when you left?
2. Did you ever "log on" to your account using a friends computer?
3. Do any of your "friends" know your e-mail address and password? (you can
guess the implications here)? If they are signed on, in your stead, they can
access your e-mail and have great fun, at your expense, using messenger!
This will also prevent you from logging on. This happened to my son a couple
of years back.

Thanks, Richard...
1. Not anymore. Not since I have this account.
2. Yes. Also in internet cafes abroad early in the year.
3. Nobody knows my password. I can log on, getting the warning I indicated.

Is there a way to find out if I am logged on somewhere, and/or force myself off?

Cheers,

Leo

If you have any local friends who you message to, call them up and ask if
they see you on-line.

If your account has been hijacked, the only way is to open a new account.
Then tell all your contacts to block the old log-on address. Otherwise they
may be constantly bothered by someone they don't know.
