But what puzzles me, is why one Microsoft programme should cause so much trouble for another of the same breed? To prove the point, yesterday I made one of my periodic visits to Hotmail to delete my 'spam'. This morning I found that all the old problems had returned and when I checked, MSNSGS had invited itself back to the Start-up group. Deselect, reboot and things are now sweet again. So, I think Hotmail and MSN will have to go - permanently.	Sami (667)

It was temporarily fixed with an update to IE 5.5 but the only permanent cure was to abandon her Hotmail address for a new one. She quite happily uses her new address with MSN and Hotmail online but I prefer to download my own Hotmail emails to my OE inbox rather than use the online version, it's so much quicker and tidier. My bulk/junk mail is set to be deleted immediately so I don't have to bother with that any more. Still get quite a bit of junk in the inbox but as I manually dowload my Hotmail emails a couple of times a day the old index finger on the Delete key takes care of that before it gets out of hand. My experience may be something for you to think about.	Susan B (19)
