I'm experiencing very similar symptoms with Windows Messenger 5.0.0482
after my SP2 install on XP... quite annoying and frustrating... has
anyone found a solution to this periodic signing off? I get signed
off of the .NET service while still maintaining connectivity to our
internal exchange messenger service.
