Greetings Bob,
What's happening is Windows Messenger (which comes with Windows XP) is also trying to sign in. To disable it, open it up (click Start, then Run, type "msmsgs" and click OK), click Tools, Options, Preferences tab and unchecking 'Run this Program when Windows starts' or 'Run Windows Messenger when Windows starts' (depending on version). As well, you can disable it further by going to Start, Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components on the left, uncheck Windows Messenger in the components list and click Next . Note: this is only available if you've installed Windows XP Service Pack 1 -- if you haven't, visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com. This won't remove Windows Messenger completely, but it will let it stay out of your way. Do *not* just remove Windows Messenger (as others will tell you to do), by doing so you will disable a number of features both in Windows and MSN Messenger, including Remote Assistance, Whiteboard and Application Sharing. Also, do you have Norton Antivirus installed? Recent versions of Norton Antivirus added a new "instant messaging scanning" feature, which can conflict with Messenger and cause it to also keep starting. To stop it, open Norton Antivirus (Right-click on the Norton Antivirus icon in the System Tray/Notification Area (by the clock), choose 'Open Norton Antivirus'), click Options, then Instant Messenger then uncheck MSN Instant Messenger and click OK. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Bob Bell" wrote in message ...
