Greetings,

It sounds like Windows Messenger is starting and logging you on while you want to use MSN
Messenger 6.1. To correct this, start Windows Messenger (click Start, then All Programs,
then Windows Messenger if you can't find it), click the Tools menu, then Options, then
Preferences tab, uncheck 'Run this program when Windows starts' or 'Run Windows Messenger
when Windows starts' (depending on version), and then click OK.

Also, 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.
