Greetings Kate,
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 cause some of 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.

Im wondering if anyone knows how to fix this..I had windows msn on my computer and have
removed it using the taskbar and control panel, but everytime i go on to the internet it
automatically logs me into windows msn, even though it wont show up on the screen..and then a
popup comes on saying i have signed on somewhere else..I thought if I deleted it from the
control panel and taskbar it would be gone..not sure what else to do with this??
