Is MSN Messenger Interferring with Standby?
Greetings Paul,
Do you have Norton Antivirus 2003 installed? Norton added a new "instant messaging scanning" feature to Norton Antivirus 2003, which can conflict with Messenger and display this behavior. 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. You should be able to close it after this. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Paul M" wrote in message news:IUrla.141013$OV.232217@rwcrnsc54... I have been trying to troubleshoot a problem with standby. If I set my PC to go into standby mode after two minutes, it does. Anything longer, and it doesn't. Very odd. I took a look at my Firewall log and discovered this: C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe" is preparing to access the Internet for the first time 4/11/2003 12:32:38 AM,An instance of "C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe" is preparing to access the Internet for the first time,An instance of "C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe" is preparing to access the Internet for the first time 4/11/2003 12:30:33 AM,An instance of "C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe" is preparing to access the Internet for the first time,An instance of "C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe" is preparing to access the Internet for the first time 4/11/2003 12:28:29 AM,An instance of "C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe" is preparing to access the Internet for the first time,An instance of "C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe" is preparing to access the Internet for the first time There were hundreds of these instances happening a little over every two minutes. Anyone know what this is all about? Thanks. |
