Messenger Changes My Status From Busy On It's Own, help?

[onamae]

I set my status to busy or away, and Windows Messenger changes it to the
ordinary online status. I'm getting very angry, as then people try to talk
to me when I am not around or when I am busy, and I am going to uninstall the
worthless thing if this keeps up. Is there any way to fix it?

Greetings,

It sounds like you might be getting disconnected. MSN Messenger and Windows Live Messenger
will retain your status when it disconnects and therefore will solve this problem. You can
grab it here:
