Hi,

Assuming you've closed those applications, do you have Norton Antivirus installed? Recent
versions of Norton Antivirus added a new "instant messaging scanning" feature, which can
conflict with Messenger and display this behavior. To stop it, open Norton Antivirus
(Right-click on the Norton Antivirus icon in the System Tray/Notification Area (by the
clock), choose 'Open Norton Antivirus'), click Options, then Instant Messenger then uncheck
MSN Instant Messenger and click OK.
