I've downloaded MSN Messenger 6.2. I've made it my IM
service and have disabled Windows Messenger thru Set
Programs Access & defaults. Yet, whenever i log onto MSN
Messenger, I get a message telling me that "I've been
signed out of .Net Passport because I was signed in at
another location". Then, I am asked if I want to sign in
using my name or as another user, and I have to re-enter
my password to be signed on.

In addition, I'm not even aware when Windows Messenger
showed me, as I was contacted by someone I know who said
they saw me online thru Windows Messenger. I don't want
to use it - want to use MSN Messenger.

How do I stop Windows Messenger from loading on - and stop
that message telling me I'm already signed on?

TQ for your help
