Shoutbox

Just now, I was only visiting the forum pages and my WLM was there with the contact list and a chat window open in taskbar. But suddenly, the two taskbar buttons (contact list&chat window) disappeared from taskbar and the systray icon turned to "not signed in" icon. I hovered on that icon, it disappeared.

As far as I remember it did this once before at some time after installing 4.50 (and while using Apple Live Messenger skin)? Note that, there was nothing wrong with my computer at that moment, everything seemed to be in order, silence, etc...

Do you have any idea?

Is there any errors listed in your event viewer?

You mean Computer Management(Local)/System Tools/Event Viewer/? If so, there is nothing wrong under all roots (Application, Internet Explorer, Security and System).

Now, it did it again, I had left the computer to watch some TV then I came back but I saw my Messenger has signed out, I right-clicked on systray icon and selected "Automatically sign ahmetgns@... in..." then it completely disappeared again.

I'm restarting my computer now if it helps.

What are the specs of your computer?  What version of WLM are you using?  I encounter this issue mostly with WLM Betas.  It seems to be a random WLM bug.  Is your connection ever interupted when this happens that you know of?

Sorry my bad, how I forgot to mention my versions:
WLM 8.5.1302.1018
MP! L 4.50.311 (I'll install the latest one after posting this message )
XP Pro SP2
Apple Live Messenger skin 0.1.0 beta 6
I suspect these scripts : PlusRemote and Answering Machine Plus
(I'm disabling them right now.)

Yes, something happened to my connection after WLM exits itself and I couldn't send my previous reply at my first attempt, so I refreshed my ethernet card and my connection has been fixed.

I'll bump this thread again if it keeps happening again. Thanks.

Also, yes, I should note that I encounter this problem when my connection is interupted, which is likely happening before the crash for you.  It is a bug in WLM.
