An old subject i have yet been able yet to resolve.Using an old system (98se).Hotmail insists messenger has to run once in site,then kills program (msn) on reading mail,re-running etc.Battle of wills it seems,i have written to hotmail support last year thought i was insane they did and had no explanation for cause.Btw i have disabled their little snoop loadqm file...

All i have been able to find is registry fixes for xp but not for 98,i know has to be imbedded in there somewhere,any help would be appreciated.

My cheers for the a-patch,makes one wonder wtf bill was thinking,bad decision......may seek another messenger (or use aim again) if it gets anymore bloated,but glad for the a-patch for time being........killing that yellow info was the best....Yea bill we know how to do this and that,ty the same.

It's all part of the integration of Microsoft programs. If it annoys you that much, use Firefox
