Fed up

Josh,

Good thought but I'd already checked that out. I don't
use outlook express and there are no accounts set up in
that program and I set the options as well just in case
it was affecting the messenger.

Thanks though.

Mike

I may be way off base on this one but you can give it a
shot. Outlook Express is tied in pretty tight w/ MSN
Messanger so open both of them and check out some of the
options. Outlook express has one where it will
disconnect
when done sending and receiving messages. I'm wondering
if that's affecting your messanger or maybe msn
messanger
has a similar setting within it.

Hope this helps.

I run a 2 computer home network. I use a desktop
running
XP home and my girlfriend runs a laptop with W2000 pro.

For a looong time now, well over 6 months, we've had
problems running Messenger. My SO always runs wm 5. I
*have* to use windows messenger 4.7 or 5 because if I
use
msn messenger then every time someone sends me a
message
or I even open a screen to send someone a message... I
get logged off.

I've written to this forum a couple of times before and
gotten no answers and now I'm really really fed up with
the whole thing... especially because I actually do
*want* to use messenger!

Please please please What's happening and how do I get
to
use msn messenger?

Regards
Mike
