Outlook express v 6
on start up opens msn messenger

problem - it opens up and older version (v 4.7) than the one I wish to use
i.e. window live messenger v 8

Subsequently when I open messenger using the Start Menu it opens the later
OLD version!

I then have to run the install.exe (repair) to reset my version of messenger
to v 8

NB I have the Tools Options 'Log onto messenger at start up ' in
outlook express UNTICKED

You're confusing Windows Messenger v4.7 with Windows Live Messenger v8.x.
(The last version of MSN Messenger was v7.5.)

Thanks for your response to my posting.

I though it was Windows Messenger v Windows Live Messenger thjat were
confusing me rather than the other way round!

Will look at the tweeks and find a way to disable Windows Messenger!

A thought - I was thinking of moving from Outlook Express to Outlook is
that going to need tweeking to gat it to divorce from some long standing
connectioon to Windows messenger too!

Thanks again - Jim

Default But nevertheless

Not only is the difference Windows messenger and Windows Live messenger
confusing me it's also confusing WindowsXp. After cold start then Outlook
Express the close Outlook Express Xp's Start programs Messenger runs
Windows Messenger and the set up repair has to be run again to get back to
Windows Live (currently dead) messenger!
