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 -- Jim Bunton |

You're confusing Windows Messenger v4.7 with Windows Live Messenger v8.x.
(The last version of MSN Messenger was v7.5.) See http://kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_messenger.htm.

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!
