O.P. Sudden involuntarily Online mode when in Appear Offline
Hi all,
I have a rather annoying problem that appears now and then and was hoping someone here has also experienced it and has a fix for it.
The situation: my status is Appear Offline (AO). Then for no reason the system logs me off and promptly logs me back in but this time as Online. First, it shouldn't log me off but I know this happens sometimes due to system congestion and whatnot. But then it should NOT involuntarily log me back on and definitely not change my status, especially if I had it on AO! Obviously I want to be discreet and this mode should be treated as "special".
This has happened to me countless times and I'm using the latest MSN messenger and latest MsgPlus version from July. It's has happened with old versions and even the latest versions. It doesn't matter if I'm using the computer or not. I had gone 2-3 months without seeing it and then today it happened again! Also, very important: I have checked OFF both "Automatically run Messenger when I log on to Windows" and "Allow automatic sign in when connected to the Internet". I couldn't find any other option that might be related but if I missed it I would like to know.
Can someone please tell me how to remedy this? It's been like this for almost two years now.
Thanks for all responses and any help!
Mark
