Hi,
This is an update to the post I put up a few weeks ago. (details below)
I checked, and the security tick box about not remembering display and
personal
message settings is not checked, so no good there, although Messenger is
behaving as though it is checked (ie. it is losing all my personal settings)
.. Have you got any other ideas? Perhaps a registry key is not quite right
here? Is there a regisrty fix ? Or use Windows Installer Cleaner to clean
out Win Messenger, then re-install? Please help....
Thanks, Johann
