if you just installed MSN and for the first time you 'appear offline', then it asks you a question, if always appear offline and then you can also check to 'never show this message again' or something like that. so the problem is that now it always signs in as 'appear offline', cause I clicked the wrong button. how to change back to automatically set status to 'online'? I know I could just click on 'online', after I write in my password, but I cant remember always and then maybe I wont even know I'm appearing offline. I was looking in 'options' and 'preferences', but I cant find anything. so, how to fix this?

one more question: why msn sometimes suddenly closes down completely, without clicking on any button like 'exit'?

and I have msn plus v4.22.0.274

well if you choose the option "remember me" you shouldn't have to always change the status each time, and it should be able to work in a way that you enter in your password each time.

second question: no idea, if you have any other addons apart from messenger plus! it could be one of them when you use a particular sequence maybe.

ok, thanks, it works now.

but even before I started using msn plus, it sometimes suddenly closed down completely. well I guess it has something to do with spywares that I have to keep deleteting. but if it continues to work, I'm fine.
