173273 2003-09-06 00:39:00 Running winxp pro

When i connect to the internet msn messenger automatically connects to the internet. When this happens a notification comes up saying that i have been signed out because i was signed in at another location.
I then sign on and everything is fine.

My initial thoughts was that this was caused by windows messenger also trying to connect as well, however i can't see windows messenger starting and as far as i know i have uninstalled that programme

Does any one have an idea why this might be happening?

173274 2003-09-06 01:13:00 Do you use Nortons Antivirus? I used to get that message as well each time I fired up Trillian even though Messenger was not running and all options to start automatically had been disabled. Turned out to be Nortons was starting up Messenger in the background as I had it set to protect Instant Messengers. Just go under Options in Antivirus as disable Instant Messengers Protection and you won't get that message again. Jen C (20)
173275 2003-09-06 04:06:00 this happens becouse you have two versions of messenger on your computer you have to remove the previous version phylip (1886)
173276 2003-09-06 08:18:00 yeah, i'd agree wiv Phylip, cos i think that the olderversion logs u on. U can remove the oldversion by running the following

Run the line of code below in the run dialog and MSN Messenger will uninsta

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

173277 2003-09-06 23:17:00 I had the same problem before, and uninstalled Win Mess thru runconfig, similar to what vk-dre said. I can't remember exactly how i did it, but its in a few posts back - do a search for them if you want.

After uninstalling it, have had no more problems with it.
